[Vwdiesel] Silicone Brake Fluid

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

When it came out, it was touted somewhat, as the wonder fluid for  brakes.  
I've since heard nothing but DON'T USE IT.  It's for racing  applications 
only.  I did get in a discussion about why it's not  recommended for regular 
use and I just don't remember why it was.
  The best answer we came up with was to use DOT 4 since it's  compatible 
with about any systems (some tractors won't like it) and it absorbs  water 
WAY less than DOT 3.  Also costs more, but no risk of screwing up a  British 
car from putting DOT 3 in it!  :-P
