silvicontact · Jul 26th, 2012, 09:10

Hi all.

I would like to change the brake fluid on my car, as the car is 6 years old and it has never been done. So with this come some questions:

Which brake fluid would be good for my car? What is everybody using?
Is there other stuff i need to do with this fluid change ?

In the near future i will have to change the discs and pads, could you please recommend some good parts?

Thank you everybody

You won't get much better than OEM Volvo brake parts.

Contact Rufe and the guys at FRF Motors - LINKY - See post #522. Give them a call quote discount code C3 and enjoy the savings.

Volvo brake fluid is a reasonable price and the system takes approx. 1ltr. You will require Dot 4 fluid, although any DOT 4 fluid will do job if you don't want to buy Volvo stuff.

If you are going to change the discs and pads then you may as well do the fluid at this time too, get the job all done in one go.
