John: It's about one of the only cars I'd consider getting rid of the Mk3 for :)
Just was a bit shocked that they're so damn heavy for a little car but then again no one expects the Mk3 to be as heavy as it is when told.
Why on earth would you take a chance?
(it's not like brake fluid is super expensive)
BF being hygroscopic means if it's been uncapped it's attracting water so it's a good move to fully flush the system and replace it at least yearly.
(saves a bundle on Callipers and Master cylinders as well)
I always flush the system with denatured alcohol when I do a fluid change.
(it helps remove any water moisture that could be trapped)
I'm using Motul 5.1 here in the brakes and had it in the clutch.
A couple of times in the past when I've glazed one up I've pulled it chucked it up in the lathe and broken the surface with some 240 wet/dry sandpaper.
Do the same with the FW and PP and it's good to go.
