Is this fluid ok to use for the clutch system? Or will i need to change to dot4
-
Its fine just vastly over rated for a G3, if you can boil it you are running some sort of fast and furious Nos machine with a Hemi :grin:
-
There was something similar on the m3 forum yesterday. Everyone saying get this and that, but I said whats the difference between that and haulfords 5.1 fluid? I didnt get a answer.
Fair enough if its a track car but a daily?
-
Pagid isn't anything special as such just very good quality.
-
If its a daily I would use standard fluid ie dot 4. For track etc 5.1.

Halford's will be buying it from the same place as most of the other brands and sticking their sticker on it, so long as it complies with the requirements for a 5.1 fluid its just brand snobbery in 95% of cases.

Exactly, and if your tracking it often you will be bleeding it through more regularly and changing it before it gets a chance to absorb water, money in the bin unless you race for a living.
Off topic but I witnessed an old M3 murder a new TT r on the way over to me mums, guys face at the next lights was a picture lol
