Brake Fluid Specification
Before replacing the brake fluid, check the brake fluid specification data on the container for compliance with the vehicle's requirements.
Brake fluid complying with Volkswagen standard 501 14 can be purchased from an ID. UNYX Service Center.
If this brake fluid is not available and another high- quality brake fluid must therefore be used, a brake fluid complying with the requirements of DIN ISO 4925 or the American standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6 can be used.
Not all brake fluids complying with DIN ISO 4925 or US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6 have the same chemical composition. Some brake fluids may contain chemicals that, over time, can destroy or damage the components in which the vehicle's brakes are fitted.
In order to safeguard the proper and stable operation of the brakes, Volkswagen strongly recommends the use of a brake fluid complying with Volkswagen Standard 501 14.
Brake fluids complying with Volkswagen Standard 501 14 fulfil the requirements of DIN ISO 4925 or the American standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6.
