265 Brake Fluid Recommendations

I use ATE type 200 as it has a really high boiling point. Its about 14-15 quid a litre

 

Should be both for clutch and brake flush.

I used 2l on mine last week. That was for a flush and several bleeds with the ezibleed. I needed several as i forgot to close the bleed nipples on the fronts as i started on the rears lol

 

I've always used Motul RBF 600, always been brilliant, never boiled over.

I use Castrol SRF, perhaps overkill but having had no pedal into a heavy braking zone I don't want to repeat the experience.

I find 1L is plenty (usually about 750ml) to do the brakes.

Also remove the air deflector plastic flaps below the car in front of the front arches, if not already removed (they're riveted on). These reduce air flow to the brakes, so best rid of them on track.

 

RBF660 in mine

 

Does that actually cool the brakes more ? I've heard a few people remove them but does it actually do anything ? What did Renault put them there for I wonder ?

 

Fuel economy, according to rs monitor v2, it says remove if brakes overheat

 

I've uses both super blue and RBF660, and there is no comparison. RBF660 is so much better! No contest in my eyes

 

It actually tells you to remove them ?!

Yeah, on the latest monitors it does. I found a photo on another forum (...in french though )

 

Yes Oli is right, it does. Which surprised me but I quite admire Renault though for doing in that.

It won't make a big difference to brake cooling though.

 

Surely it will make a bit of difference ? Renault wouldn't say it otherwise

I would say very little. If you're going to cook your pads it might delay the inevitable by half a lap but that's about it IMO. I mentioned it to one of the engineers at work and he laughed... What you need is ducting from the front, which will help about 50 times more.

 

Renault would be much better off saying drop in some higher dry boiling point brake fluid.

 

Rbf660 here. In both my full time track Clio and r26. Never looked back.

 

I would buy a bit more just to be safe. I used about a litre and a half to be sure it was a full flush through and none of the old was left in the system

2L (4x 0.5L) bottles to be safe if you're doing a complete flush including the clutch.

 

Used both Castrol SRF and RBF 660 and they worked well on really hot track days.

 

RBF 600/660 for road use or track?!

ATE is in mine for everyday!
