Spend a few extra bucks and get DOT 4. Higher boiling point and lower
moisture absorption. Also meets VW requirements.

It would be a good idea to pump lots of nice clean fluid through the
system.
My way is to use a couple of quarts of fluid and just open all the
bleeders all the way (one at a time) and pump lots of fluid through
until
it comes out clear on the drain end.
I get Dot 3 brake fluid 2 quarts for $3.00 at Chief Auto so I know it
won't put you in the poor house to clean them good.
Alcohol will also give it a good cleaning for about the same price.
