Say what you will about silicone, it most assuredly will NOT destroy seals, as will conventional Girling juice; NOR will it absorb water, as will your conventional Girling elixer.

I have to agree I've never had any problems with silicone fluid in any of my British cars.

Silicon Fluid can and WILL destroy the seals in my VW. I have seen it happen on another car. Futhermore, silicon fluid is much more compressable than non-silicon fluid so your pedal feel will be SO m

Mark, et Listers, Those longer term subscribers to the list know this to be a perennially debated question; the pros and cons of silicon(e) brake fluids. Silicones do work for some people and have th

If you have installed the CAT braided metal lines, there's no soft pedal problem. Conventional fluid eats up the pot-metal bores in the brake booster. that's a fact. Silicone requires really good fla

I'm afraid it would be hard to be much further off base than you are on this one!!! My Tiger has had silicone (not spelling) brake fluid for over ten years. The seals are fine, and there is no rust.

Silicone brake fluid should only be use in a system with all new seals. The conventional replacement seals were designed with the anticipation of application glycol based fluids which "swell" to thei

I probably should have clarified about the seals dissolving thing. You are correct on that. In regards to the question of spongyness. Silicon fluid is difficult to pour cleanly and will almost always

Sorry, O.M., fluids are not compressible, gases are. You may be dealing with a bad hose, but the fluid will not compress. Look elsewhere for your "soft" pedal, maybe even a leaking seal bypassing th
