brake fluid capacity - United Bimmer Community

I am thinking of changing my brake fluid to ATE superblue when I switch my pads out...I was wondering how much of it order. The manual doesnt say :-/

you should probably be fine with a liter. Get 2 if your concerned though.

Storamin · 02-17-2006, 03:54 PM

I would recommend 2 liters.

sweet, thinking of picking up a pressure bleeder as well if I am going to be doing this every 6 months or so...any good brands? bimmerworld has one for $64ish

**xsperf** · 02-17-2006, 06:50 PM

yep 2, you will probably use 1 and like 5 drops of the second.. well actually it depends on how much you bleed it

a pressure bleeder is DEFINETELY worth it, however, dont buy one, thats not worth it, i made one.. you can just get those garden sprayers things, and you can easily make it a pressure bleeder, and it costs you like 25 bucks.. but either way, if you dont want to make one, definetely get one it is absolutely worth it

I bought a Motive power bleeder... very good system.

I used 2 liters of fluid when I did mine... but I replaced the brake lines.

**nightdevils** · 02-17-2006, 09:12 PM

yeah I plan on replacing the pads along with upgrading from stock lines to ss lines. As well as replacing the brake fluid . thanks guys.

I did some research and found Motive's to be great and the price is only $45 at TrackHaus.com: http://www.trackhaus.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=267

Much better then rigging one together for $25 + gas and time.

I bought mine at Summit Racing made by Motive and am very happy with it. www.summitracing.com.

Of course I drove over there and picked it up in Akron.

Sorry so late with reply. I live in Valley City. Go north on 83 and turn right on 303 about 5 miles. Love Wooster too. There was an auction I used to go to there.
