I need to do a brake fluid flush and have used both Ate TYP 200 and Ate Blue in the past on my Boxster.

Suggestion · Original poster
I think I'll check a local source for the Castrol GT LMA and if it's not available I'll probably order a case of the Ate TYP 200 for about $14/liter shipped as I've got a couple of cars to do and it won't go bad.
Leading evidence: 'Use ate typ 200 and ate blue in the past' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check local source' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
Typically, I can flush the system by having to 'fill' the reservoir twice overall, with the refill taking place per two wheels.

Just fill the reservoir and use the powerbleeder to pressurize the system.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I need to do a brake fluid flush and have used both Ate TYP 200 and Ate Blue in the past on my Boxster. If I can find a local supplier I'll probably use the 200 in my C4S. The local Porsche dealer wants $50 per liter for Porsche fluid and about half that ($13 for 16.9 ounces) for Audi branded fluid. If I can't find Ate locally any reason to not use the Audi stuff? I don't have any real plans on tracking the car but may do so once to get more familiar with it in a relatively safe environment.
IMO if you are not tracking the car Castro GT LMA cant be beat and @ about $10/qt you can fush the entire system with a great fluid for $20
I used it in my 996 and I have it in my 86' as well
Im using Motul. Its a bit pricey $25 if I remeber... but if you plan on tracking your car at all you wont have to worry about boiling your fluid. In my area it wasnt easy to find until i tried a motorcycle dealer nearby. They stocked plenty.
I think I'll check a local source for the Castrol GT LMA and if it's not available I'll probably order a case of the Ate TYP 200 for about $14/liter shipped as I've got a couple of cars to do and it won't go bad.
bTW, ATE Superblue is just TYP 200 with blue dye. I stopped using ATE Superblue because it stains the lining and it's eventually harder to change with newer fluid later on. Maybe it's just an annoyance to me.
I wound up buying 4 quarts of Castrol GT LMA @ $8.99/Qt. at the local Pep Boys so I should be all set. I'll fire up the Motive power bleeder when I get back from vacation during a mini work-on-cars day at my place. I'll likely do a full flush on the C4S, my Boxster S and a friends Boxster.
a tip: Don't fill the power bleeder with fluid at all. Just fill the reservoir and use the powerbleeder to pressurize the system. It's less messy.
Just keep an eye on the brake fluid level in the reservoir. Typically, I can flush the system by having to 'fill' the reservoir twice overall, with the refill taking place per two wheels.
Thanks for the tip. I've never had a problem in the past and when I do the last wheel I usually tip the power bleeder so it's not drawing any more fluid, which allows the level in the reservoir to drop so there's no mess when disconnecting. Perhaps I'll try the new way this time around.
