How much brake fluid?

[mikepologti]

martini seems to be the , "brake fluid of choice", for alot of people on here.

oh poo...I ordered some on line but only got one bottle.

funny though, I just checked the last service on my Territory and they changed the brake fluid, and only charged me for a 500ml bottle?

Final update...ended up getting another bottle on line but the dealer only used a single bottle...makes me wonder about whether they bled them properly so I think I'll go to a brake place and ask them to put the other bottle in.

Stealer charged $100 for the oil !! F-Me..

Im coming up to my 30,000km service and want to buy some Martini brake fluid. Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to how many bottles are required?

Usually best to get 2x 500ml bottles.You may get away with one,but it's always handy to have some spare for post-Track day "bleeds" where required.

1 ltr, 250 per wheel. And there is a completely different method to bleed the polo compared to the rest in the brand. Most of all cars i do furthest away from the mater cyl and work forward, Gti starts at front left, front right, rear left then rear right. Now this is for bleeding if the system has been opened ie fitting big brakes etc.
If you stick to the conventional method if only flushing you should be ok. If you find the pedal doughy then resort to the above, had great results with it
