[diesel_mercedes] Re : Bendix vs ATE rear calipers 82 240D

 


No ;

Disc brakes need DOT 4 , I know the new DOT 3 is supposed to be O.K. but a Mercedes is a big , heavy missile when the brakes fail and you're rolling .

I just opened the valves on the new calipers and let them gravity feed til they dripped about a pint of fluid total, closed them, pumped the brakes, topped it off and gravity bled them one more time just enough to get a solid drip going. Probably ended up being a flush of the rear brakes. DOT 3 is good enough isn't it?
