What DOT brakefluid to use

Unread post by cornesoutafrica »

Hi everyone

Well since it is super hot in South Africa an the holiday season I have got time to do some work on my modern cars (and classics ofcourse).

I am doing all the fluids and attempting to do my c4 VTS cambelt. But thats another topic.

What I wanted to know is. The brakefluid for a 2001 c5 exclusive and a 2004 vts coupe. Can I use TOTAL DOT 4 plus synthetic brakefluid? Or is there something more suitable?

I doubt it was ever changed in these cars so better to do it ASAP..

Thanks in advance
Corne

DOT 4 seems to be the recommended fluid, so should be fine.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

Ok. Thanks

Rather safe than sorry. The manual only gives a partnumber.
