Brake Fluid Recommendations?

[Kneale Brownson]

Knowing Audi, brake fluid level check is probably part of that service, but not
a flushing.  After two years of use, the brake fluid should be flushed to
eliminate moisture that forms from heating/cooling of the system.  Otherwise,
you'll be replacing rusty calipers, probably shortly after Audi quits paying
for services.  I'd pay them to do the flush if you're not doing that sort of
thing for yourself.  I make it a part of my fall change-over from summer to
winter tires.
