Hi, I’m changing my discs, pads, braided hoses and doing a complete brake fluid change. Do you just bleed each caliper like normal or is there something you have to do with the ABS? TIA

It should not be used in vehicles fitted with magnesium alloy cylinders or reservoirs. Silicone type assembly compounds should not be used in conjunction with this product.
Does anyone know if the Cupra has magnesium alloy cylinders or reservoirs?
I'd be very surprised if it has magnesium components, and you don't have to worry about silicon in the brake system.
DOT 4 is in widespread use, suits nearly everything but Harleys.

The OP refers to components of mainly magnesium construction, which are reasonably uncommon on everyday cars. I've used DOT 4 and 4.1 on all my bikes and cars with aluminium brake parts for many years without a problem. It has been the specified fluid for all of them.
A more important thing is to change the fluid regularly, every two years at least.
