DOT5.1 every time for me - preferably flush the system through while you're at it.

The tutorial suggests using super dot 4. I'm assuming its the same for v8's and TT's?

I would still use Dot 5.1 as it is backwards compatable with the older Dot 4 anyway

"DOT5 however is a Silicon based fluid which is incompatible with the other fluid types and should not be used as it has it’s own set of problems."
Is that the same for DOT 5.1?}

No, stay away from Dot 5 as it will make a mess of your braking system!
