Lukey. 381 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 yes its the only fluid VW do.disconnect a hose and let it drain, then rotate the wheel from lock to lock over and over and it will pump more out.Refilling is the same, pour some in to the fill line then rotate the wheel lock to lock again, top up repeat until the system is full then turn it on and do lock to lock again until it is fully bled Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 1 litre bottle to fill it, so if you want to flush it too get 2 bottles Link to post Share on other sites
