The title sort of asks the question - How much brake fluid do I need to renew the fluid in my S1?
Any advantage in going for the castrol super response stuff or will ordinary dot 4 do? The car is only used for the road.

Dot 4, I used two - 1 litre bottles. Did the clutch with it too.

Its almost bang on 1 litre which is annoying as you really have to buy a bit more than you should theoretically need.

Depends on how long you wait for it to run clear, an extra litre is hardly
going to break the bank. L O L
