@Thantaight Jun 16, 2020MemberHi! I have to change the front brake caliper on a VW Golf IV. Do I have to replace the fluid? Should I flush the entire system or only this caliper?

It depends on how long the brake fluid hasn’t been changed. As a rule, it should be changed once in 2-3 years. If the brake fluid has been replaced recently, all you have to do is to bleed the brake system to remove the air locks.
