All excellent information to know about your brake components.

I would only add that it is not really enough to just remove/replace the fluid from the reservoir. It's ok, & better than nothing but still not really adequate. The system should be bleed, which will replace the fluid in the entire system. And that would include the clutch too I think, because iirc the brake system and clutch share the same fluid reservoir.
I think I flushed the brakes?. I sucked out all of the old fluid in the reservoir, filled it up with new, put the rest in the motive power bleeder (2 liters of ATE gold) and bled almost 2 liters out of all eight caliper nipples.

And I have a tiptronic, so no clutch or fluid for me. Right? Sheesh, now I don't know if I wanna drive the thing. (just kidding)
