Subject:DOT3 vs DOT4

Eric,

You said someone gave dangerous advice in saying DOT 3 was OK.  I looked
it
up today in Bentley and they say that DOT 4 supercedes DOT 3 as of 1985.
It sounds
to me like DOT 3 was OK, but once the higher boiling point DOT 4 came
out, VW
decided to go with that.  They also said that they're fully compatible.
I can't remember
the page #, but it's under Brakes-Hydraulic.

So go easy on us, ok?  :-)
