How much fluid?

[adam1942]

I've searched and cant find the answer but I seen a thread a few days ago!!

How much fluid is needed to fill (and flush) the 197 brake system? I'm looking at http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-894-motul-rbf-600-factory-line-racing-brake-fluid.aspx can anyone recommend this or anything different?

thanks

1 litre should be more than enough, I bought too much

As above, did mine today and used nearly 1lt, bought 2 so at least I have one spare now.

I used ATE Super Blue Racing, a few people on here recommended it plus as it's blue it makes it easier to see when it's run through the system.

done a full fluid change a month or so ago and flushed through at least 300ml per side/brake = 1.2ltrs

dont forget the front calipers have 2 bleed points and have a bit more fluid than standard single piston calipers

Had mine done at a renault specialist and they used less than 1 litre to flush through, probably buy 2 litres though if you're not an expert at bleeding brakes!

The Renault garage I'm taking the car to said if I have the parts they'll fit them whilst doing the service win win
