Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Hydraulic system
| General notes on brake fluid |
| Only use new brake fluid conforming to VW standard
(VW 501 14). |
 Note
| Brake fluid is poisonous. Also due to its corrosive effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork. |
| Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture
from the ambient air and should therefore always be stored in
air-tight containers. |
| Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water. |
