Wow that's crazy, I just installed Zimmermann blanks and ebc reds and flushed with ATE 200 and I got the tiny little squeak as well. Deciding whether it's worth the hassle to rebleed with RBF or something. It only squeaks/sighs when cold.

Flush it out! It's not gonna get better. Who knows what damage it may be doing.

Hi All, Could you please advice which DOT 4 LV fluid to use to avoid brake pedal squeak? I tried so far VW OEM one and Shell DOT 4 ESL with both of them I'm getting pedal squeak. Thanks.

I'm using motul rbf600. Makes sure you completely bleed the brakes and the clutch if you have one.

Sounds Iike you used the wrong brake fluid. Non-low viscosity fluid can do that. I ran ATE TYP 200 in my Atlas and had the same squeak until I replaced with their SL fluid.

No as mentioned I have used LV fluid actually three manufacturers already all of them LV and squeak is still present. I never used Typ 200 - non LV fluid.
