Pre-Season Fluid Refresh
Just completed replacing all of the fluids in my AP1 in preparation for this season's adventures.
Just some comments on the brake and clutch fluid flush:
- used the gravity bleed method, although it was fairly cold - 5 degrees C.
- front brakes bled perfectly, the rears were slow - used my Mityvac for the rears but was still took a long time to get 100ml of fluid out.
- the clutch was also very slow - (like molasses in January), however the Mityvac worked well to get some fluid through.
- lesson learned - pick a warmer day or a warmer garage....
Looking forward to sunshine and some top down driving!
