RS4 brake fluid - choices and opinions

Post by WUZ » Thu May 06, 2010 11:45 am

I'll be changing the Brake hoses over the weekend............... do I have to use the OE Audi brake fluid for any reason (special seals, etc) of can I use the same Castol SRF (Synthetic Racing Fluid) as I use in the Impreza?

Seems daft to use their OE stuff if I have the ability to change it to a better grade myself (built the Scoobs engine and most of the Scoob myself..... I can handle changing brake fluid on the RS4)

Opinions and suggestions welcome.................... just no cat -fights please ( this doesn't involve R/R figures :lol: )

I think I'll be using Motul RBF600 when I have mine changed, just got to check whether Audi will use it whilst they change the fluid over for me.

Audi put my Goodridge Hoses on and used there OEM brake fluid, TBH its good enough. The RBF600 is the next step up.
