Brake Fluid..

[PumaJay]

My puma really needs a fluid change but im not sure which to buy, want something thats gonna stand up the abuse it gets on track sessions and spirited driving...

..i was doing passenger rides at bruntingthorpe yesterday and the by the end of the day the brakes felt like that had faded quite abit.

also how much fluid does the system take??

all help is great, cheers!

I have friends who use these 2. Heard good things from them.

Ad with his mr2 on b4t struggled at rockingham with brake issues and switched to Motul 600. Said its helped to stop brake fade and also make the pedal feel firmer.

This is what friends, mainly vws, reccommend.

Just changed mine and I put through a litre of dot 5.1. Didn't need that much (I believe 750ml should do it) but I flushed that much through it for good measure....lol. This was bleeding the clutch too by the way.

Oh, I paid a fraction of the price in them links. If you want to pay way over the top then by all means go to Opie :?

Have you tried fitting braided brake hoses?I fitted a set on my bike and it nearly threw me over the bars the first time I hit the brakes! Makes a massive difference

yeh ive got braided hoses front and back, just ordered 1 litre of the motul stuff, lets hope as good as it seems!
