Car is currently partially drained of brake fluid after refurbishing the calipers. How much fluid will I need to replace and bleed? Will a litre bottle suffice?

 

I can't seem to find a definitive answer searching and the manual doesn't say.

When i refurbed my calipers i went through a litre flushing and purging the lines then used about half a litre topping up including the final bleed:)

about 1.5lt for the complete system if u have ABS

No idea Phil.....

 

.....but by the sound of it, you are planning on getting one of your Zs back on the road - about time mate!!

The general consensus seems to be 1.5 litres. I'll pick some up and report back.
