matt89 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 So tomorrow I'm having my front discs and pads replaced due to being completely shot and at the same time I've asked for a full full fluid change as looking through the paperwork when I bought the car there was little evidence it had been done. Will give me piece of mind and maybe more placebo horsepower. Who doesn't want that, ey...? I know brakes have a bedding in routine but the question is, do fluids also have a routine or anything I need to know? Quote
jjdugen Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Having the same done to mine. Be interested to know the general cost. And no, fluids don't need a 'break in', the older they get, the less efficient they are. 1 Quote

I've got a 1h 40min round trip tomorrow so only have to worry about bedding the brakes in and not the fluids. Will drop a line with the cost when I pick her up tonight. Quote

And no, fluids don't need a 'break in', the older they get, the less efficient they are. £402 including all fluids, new oil filter and front discs and pads. No spark plugs or air filter as they both looked to be in good condition. Quote
