How much brake fluid?

Post by adampv6 »

Sorry to be a pain but I can't find any referance to the amount of brake fluid that is needed for a change on a D9 V6? I don't have a haynes manual and I know there isn't one for the V6, but I'd guess the amount used in a normal brake system would be very similar!

thanks!

I used one of the large bottles from Halfrauds when I did mine a month or two ago. 700ml? 1 litre? something like that...

I seem to remember using almost a litre but I wasn't sure when the old stuff finished and the new stuff started.

Me too on the first couple of wheels - I was expecting the old stuff to be a lot dirtier than it was
