Eric,

You said someone gave dangerous advice in saying DOT 3 was OK. I looked it up today in Bentley and they say that DOT 4 supercedes DOT 3 as of 1985. It sounds to me like DOT 3 was OK, but once the higher boiling point DOT 4 came out, VW decided to go with that. They also said that they're fully compatible. I can't remember the page #, but it's under Brakes-Hydraulic.

So go easy on us, ok? :-)
