  Here's my 2 cents worth.  When you say "recent bleeding on my MGB" I   wasn to ask if that was within the last 24 hours before you "so dumped some   in."  If not, I would do a flush for sure on the next service... don't   ask... just do it.   I have raced and ralllied for a great many   years, and we NEVER use brake fluid that has been opened for more than 24 hours,   we through it away.  We figure it contaminated, and holding moisture.    Now for the DOT4 if you are doing normal street driving, DOT 4 works, and is the   minimum that Audi recomends, if however you are doing anything the least bit   more aggressive upgrade to a higher rating. Ford Motor has a DOT 7.........   that is Great... no fade... and only a few pennies more expensive than   Castrol DOT4
   
  Again, only my 2 cents worth.
   
Ummm, no, a little longer than  that, I'm afraid! I did not actually put in more than about 3  tablespoons to get the light off. But I do plan to have the fluid  flushed next week when I bring the car in for the 35k. The car is  purely a street driver.
  
  Taka - how do I ensure that the service is actually done, other than  looking for spills?! I haven't had any reason to distrust my dealer  (Princeton Audi) so far but...
  
  Thx
