So whats the actual question Chris?

Yeah sorry school boy error on my part.

I think I deleted the question.

Sorry !!

The question was is ate blue fluid and braided hoses a good upgrade as I'm changing pads and discs all round so thought I'd do the lot.

Tapatalk is playing up as there's still multi posts on this cheers dave for trying to fix.

Aslong as its not a high percentage Ether based i think.

 

Ether will eat all your rubber seals and screw with the ABS

Cheers VRade I'll do some research see what it's made from. Just liked the look of it as is blue lol.

ate blue does rot abs seal in the mk.4 cars

 

ate gold / ate 200 doesn't

 

hth

What about ATE super blue dot 4?

I've been recommended that for my mk1 octy after cooking the brakes at Combe!

thats the stuff I'm talking about

 

ATE website

 

TYP200 / Super Blue Racing where designed for alternating changes - the only diff being the blue dye - which rots ABS/clutch seals etc

Iv got 2 tins of this stuff to put in my vrs. Is it the right stuff :s

Right so ate blue is out, what about braided hoses anyone upgraded to them? Bosch do a super DOT 5.1 fluid would that be OK ? and how much will be needed to flush the system ?

Braided hoses are a good upgrade, I had them on my previous car and made a very slight difference (not an Octavia).

 

Dot 5.1 fluid has a higher boiling point than dot 4, here is a link to the Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_5.1

 

You'd need about a litre to replace your fluid

Cheers mushtafa going to start collecting parts up and fit when I get chance.
