Finally this morning at 7am I picked up my rear badge and installed it aesthetically aside from getting coils I'm happy with the car! Candy white paint, gloss black roof, gloss badges and matte black wheels. Very happy!

What have I done today...question cambellwell Volkswagens competency! I'm almost due for my 60,000km service which entails a brake flush. One was allready done by cambellwell vw at 30,000km.

Now as I have been looking into brake fluids I have come to question why on hell the fluid they have put in is GREEN. I can't seem to find anywhere that states the DOT 3/4/5.1 standard for brake fluid been green. Only yellow, amber, or clear (could also be a blue here and there). Purple is reserved for DOT 5.0 spec (silicon not glycol). What I did find out is that green could be used for mineral oil brake fluid which cannot be used in glycol based systems.

Now surely they can't be that incompetent but then again they did screw up my gearbox to start with...which has started to slip in first again FML!

Anybody else have green brake fluid? Also can anyone recommend a really good brake fluid as I'm going to do a flush myself...

Also got a screw right through my rear tyre and its gone flat...yay it's been a such a good day

Brake fluid is time based every 2 years. Maybe your mileage lines up with the time. I'm at 120,000km & only just had my 3rd brake fluid flush.

Have you thought to simply ask the dealership for a look at the drum of brake fluid?

If you want to do your own the Motul rbf600 is great but about $30/L & it should be changed every 12 months. Also Ferodo 5.1 (black bottle) & it's a bit cheaper - about $20ish.

Castrol Super Response Dot 4 (silver bottle) if you want cheap ($10) & cheerful but good.

I have no idea how these fit with glycol or mineral based fluids

Ended up buying some Motul Dot 5.1 Brake fluid and some yellow vinyl for my foglights. Surprisingly the Motul Dot 5.1 is better at been an all round performance brake fluid than the RBF600.

The Motul RBF600 brake fluid does have a very high dry boiling temperature (312 drgrees C) but it is a thicker brake fluid for the most part which is not that good and why it only conforms to the dot 4 standard (at 1750 mm2/s).

The Motul Dot 5.1 on the other hand has a top temp of 272 degrees C but is much thinner at 820 mm2/s. so in a nut shell not as high temperature but better response from the braking system - especially the ABS control pump.

If you get genuine ones they don't need a decoder as they call it (its just a resister in the wire)
