Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Please advise below:
      how many litres of brake fluid i need? About 600- 700mm
      What brand is recommended? (motul dot4?) Any Dot 4 fluid
      how many hours of labour? About 15/20 min... Can be done in less time.
      what is the estimated total cost for the above? Depends on the workshop you go to...

      1) About 600- 700mm
      2) Any Dot 4 fluid.
      3) About 15/20 min... Can be done in less time.
      4) Depends on the workshop you go to...

        Depends how you do it but I can get by with 500ml. most people use a litre.
        Motul is good.... or Ferodo... or Castrol Silver bottle for the budget minded
        If you have the wheels off to do pads & rotors then about 5 mins (tops) per caliper
        pass

          thanks heaps!
          a workshop told me:
          3hours to do the job and will cost around $300-400

          from the above advise, sound like this workshop going to lighten my wallet when i send my car in.

            3 hours to bleed the brakes or 3 hours to replace pads/rotors & bleed brakes? 3 hours would be worst case for the whole job including road test & handbrake adjustment if you haven't done it before but were an experienced mech. If you knew what you were doing, 2.5hrs would be enough
