Last week I completed a driving tour in our BJ8. It was a great tour and ev=
erything ran well except for one thing. 4 or 5 times, when I used the clut=
ch, the clutch master cylinder bypassed. The rest of the time it worked wel=
l. As I don't want to be caught without a clutch at a later date I am chang=
ing the clutch master cylinder. I have received a replacement and am prepar=
ing to install it.
On the box is a quick summary of the bleeding procedure under a warning - "=
Using Silicon Brake fluid will void warranty". I have used silicon fluid fo=
r well over 10 tears and never experienced any problems with it and have ne=
ver seen or heard of this type of warning before. I have never heard of any=
destructive qualities of Silicon fluid.
My question is - does anyone have any idea what it is about.
For me to change to Dot4 fluid is quite a big deal as I would be changing o=
ut the clutch as well as the brake system seeing as they share a common res=
ervoir.
I'd appreciate any comments on the warning.
