[A2 FUN]

Has anybody had any good or bad experiences of using DOT 5 Silicone brake fluid in an A2?

Hi Mark
I have no first hand experience of silicone brake fluid but have read enough negative points to put me off using it. In addition to this article - http://www.bigbendmgs.com/Brakes.html
its also suggested that is should not be used in ABS systems.
