What's the 2002 VW Jetta brake fluid type?

The 2002 Volkswagen Jetta is equipped with DOT 4 brake fluid. The reservoir can usually be located on the drivers side of the engine bay towards the rear. Brake lubricants work with the Jetta's shoes, rotors and pads to absorb heat and pressure and prolong the life of the brake assembly. Regular service check ups can monitor the condition of the hydraulic fluid. Most manufacturers recommend having it flushed every 4-5 years, depending on driving style and hauling use. Signs a vehicle may be low on lubricants include unneeded ABS activation, squealing and hard pedal operation. The cost to have the braking system serviced averages $150-$180 in materials and labor. Branded lubricants have been shown to provide more protection than aftermarket replacements.
