  My VW dealer just said I need this done...for about $145. Is that cheap? Rip off? Can I get it done elsewhere besides the dealer? Just called Jiffy Lube and EZ Lube and neither does it.

  Just don't screw up. Because then you have no brakes, and you might drive into something.

  $145 sounds high. amongthemasses' $110 sounds closer to typical. DIY tips available here: http://www.type2.com/library/bra…

  why are they suggesting you change it?

  • Said they fluid is greenish black and they'd recommend it.– CincodeMayo1/4

    Condensation, etc. end up in the brake line, which leads to corrosion, line failure. whatnot.– blaw2/4

    If the fluid isn't clear, it means it should be changed. Like rson said, it's easy and pretty cheap to do on your own.– blaw3/4

    ... as long as you're confident with doing that kind of thing.– Gucci4/4
