Questions:
1) In addition to the instructions from PelicanParts do you offer any other tip for this job? Pelican Technical Article: Bleeding Boxster Brakes - 986 / 987
2) Is "ATE Gold Brake Fluid" a good fluid to use? What color is this fluid? Any other good alternatives?
3) I thought I had read somewhere that it only takes 1 liter of the brake fluid to bleed the system but Pelican Parts states a minimum of 3 liters, which is correct? |
ATE Gold is fine whether you're just driving on the street or tracking the car.
A liter should be enough if you do it right (ie don't let the reservoir to go empty).
