Hi, How much brake fluid will I need to buy, to fill a complete new system ?. I was thinking that one litre would be more than enough. Thanks from Luke |

I suspect it will need more than that, as you will loose a fair amount when bleeding it. I'm interested to hear what other opinions are, as I'll be doing this myself one day. |

The master cylinder wouldn't hold much and the lines wouldn't be much more. If it's over a litre it wouldn't be much more. Please let me know if anyone knows the correct amount, so I can order in the right amount. Thanks from Luke |

Pretty sure it's less than a litre. I'm remembering replacing/flushing the entire fluid on mine with 2 x 500 ml bottles and had some left... |

I've been told that on a completely new system, you end up losing quite a lot as it will take more purging to remove all the air. So I think I will get another bottle to make sure that I've got enough. |

I just looked through my two 3rd gen manuals and nowhere does it say what amount of brake fluid is needed. Engine oil, trans auto and manual, cooling but not brakes. |
