How much break fluid?
« on: March 02, 2014, 09:48:57 am »
I will be swapping out both rear calipers on my TDI in a few days.

How much break fluid will I need for bleeding the system and replacing the lost fluid from removing the calipers?

I have bought 1l but I'm worried that it won't be enough.

Whole system change is 1.4 litres exactly but you'll pull more than that through if you are doing the whole system.

Rears can be tricky to bleed
