20,000 mile serice - brake fluid change?

[robdf2]

The fluid also attacks the seals in your brakes , when your fluid is dirty it also contains bits of debris that will start to damage the seals in the system , from master cylinder to piston seals , so its always best to flush through and have the fluid changed when scheduelled.

Star Performance is a VAG Indie and having been in their workshop and used them a few times I can attest that they do use genuine parts.

Great.Defo cheap as chips then.Superb price.Where can I find 'em then near Scunthorpe or not ?

 

[FAST AL]

Would save me well in excess of £250 so worth travelling a bit if need be.Been quoted £345 at local Seat garage + £50 odd extra for brake fluid change.

They said today that they can cut cost to £240 all in for me including brake fluid change when I mentioned what you guys were saying on here.
Still not as cheap as Starperformance though.

EMM' Stick with the instructions in the manual. 3 years. Must be ok even for warranty issues.

Mine is going to be 240€ including brake fluid luckily ill get 19% german VAT knocked off too

Star Performance is in Kircaldy fife Scotland so it would be a wee bit of a run for you Al . I have no worries about taking my car there as they come highly recommended and are a approved Audi, VW, Seat service agent who use genuine parts. Also they will come and collect your car from your house, work etc and return it to you when it is ready top service or what

Warranty won't help when your brake pedal hits the firewall and your car chins a lorry, or pedestrian though will it?
