Subject:      Brake fluid capacity of Clutch/Brake circuits
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed


Hi,


Where I live (small town Western Canada), supply chain is a problem and
no-one has DOT 4 brake fluid.  I replaced my master cylinder and I had
to re-use my brake fluid to be able to get mobile.


I can't seem to find in the Bentley what the capacity of the clutch
circuit is.  Once I can get brake fluid, what is the capacity of the
clutch circuit?  It seems to be at least 8 oz from my experience today,
but not 100% sure.


While I'm at it, I do need to bleed my brakes completely as well, but no
idea how much fluid that would take.


If I buy a 4 liter jug, I cannot imagine the reservoir's and lines
taking more than that.  Does that sound like overkill?  or not enough?


Thanks,
Steve Williams
