CAUTION! 
     
Use only fresh brake fluid conforming to US 
standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. Genuine 
VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this 
specification. 
     Brake fluid must never be brought into 
contact with liquids containing mineral oil 
(gasoline, cleaning agents). Mineral oil 
damages the pistons and cups in the braking 
system. 
     Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into 
contact with paintwork because of its caustic 
effect. 
     Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs 
moisture from the surrounding air) and 
should therefore always be kept in airtight 
containers. 
     When carrying out the following steps, make 
sure that no brake fluid escapes onto the 
transmission. 
     
Notes:  
     The clutch system must be bled after carrying 
out work on the hydraulic clutch mechanism.
