Hi,

I have a B5 Audi S4 and I've just had to replace the ABS module and brake fluid reservoir so I'm having to replace the brake fluid too. I thought whilst I'm filling it back up I may as well use DOT 5.1 instead of the DOT 4.

I've since found out that it has a hydraulic clutch which uses the same reservoir as the brakes, so am I going to have to replace the fluid in the clutch system too? I don't know how I go about bleeding the clutch system. I may still use DOT 4 if I do have to bleed the clutch fluid too.

Thanks,

Dan
