Cheers mate, got dot 5.1 currently. But going for Motul RBF600 dot 4 this time. Gonna have to buy two 500ml bottles it seems. Ouch

I did a couple of trackdays on stock discs and pads, still pretty damn good, little to no fade. Did have dot 5.1 fluid though.

Bought 3 litres to be safe.

Did you find this brake fluid to be any good then mate?

SEAT hudds told me mine needs changing, I have standard cupra brake setup, do you think this fluid would be ok for my car?

Thanks
