Martin,
Yes, you need to FULLY flush the old fluid out of the system, the fluids
are NOT in any way compatible. The only way I know to completely be sure
of ridding the system of the old fluid is to rebuild or replace everything.
Rather drastic and although I don't plan on replacing the lines and hoses,
I will blow them as clean as I can with compressed air. The rest will be
rebuilt/replaced with new after a few weeks of driving, will bleed the
system again. Hopefully this will be sufficient -
