VWs hate ATE Typ200 fluid

[MiamiBourne]

I guess I'll switch to RBF600. I may be getting some squeak but I thought it was always there. I mean I mostly drive with music or my AWE turbo back exhaust resonating so I'll have to listen more closely the next time I drive my car

What fluid do you have in there now?

ATE Type 200 that I did a brake/clutch flush with last year.

Yeah... welcome to the squeaky pedal club.. Now get the F out of the club. Haha.

The SL is different than the 200. I think the SL is the proper fluid.

Yep it's the one they recommend for all manner of abs, esc etc. I think it runs a bit thinner than the 200.

Lol. It's part of my WITW prep so it will be out soon.

I've been running ATE typ200 for 3 months now with no issues in my 2015.

I've been running ATE type 200 for around 2 years now and have had some levels of squeaking the entire time. it only stopped when I replaced fluid with OEM and came back when I swapped that out for ATE, so I think that is the culprit.

Unfortunate as I've been using it on multiple cars over the years

i havent heard any squeaks since switching to motul rbf600 from atetype200. it must lack some kind of lubricant in there

 

[ZuMBLe]

Same here. No squeaks since.

I wouldn't use ATE SL6 on track. Wet and dry boiling points are about 50 deg F less than ATE200.

I normally use Castrol SRF, but it's been on back order forever.

I have had ATE 200 for 20k miles and zero issues on aggressive back road driving. PP GTI M6 with slotted Stoptech rotors, stainless lines and EBC red pads.

Has anyone continued to hear squeaks even after the ATE is flushed out? My local VW specialist flushed with ATE 200 at the 40k service, and then with Motul when I brought it back for the squeaking. Even after a few days and ~50 miles I’m still hearing a pretty squeaky brake pedal...

 

[Navi]

i would try flushing again.

How much motul did you use for the flush?
