Another shout for the Pentosin Dot 4. There is no good reason to use Dot 3 fluid. VW specs 2 year interval, time, not mileage. Think of routine periodic flushing of the brake fluid like an oil change for your brakes. Good preventive maintenance. Water soaked brake fluid puts expensive ABS hardware at risk for corrosion, failure and significant repair expense.. Flushing the brake fluid is a simple task. Floor jack, jack stands, wrench, clear tube, jar or bottle, nitrile gloves and safety glasses. fat biker
Pros: Good preventive maintenance
Cons: ABS hardware at risk

Volkswagen
I purchase the 1000ml bottles at my shop for full clutch and brake flushes. It seems like 500ml just isnt enough when the lines are fully dry and you also loose end up losing some in the bleeding process.
Pros: sufficient for full flush
Cons: 500ml not enough
