Can you change your brake fluid by yourself? If so... how do you do it?

Yes. Bleed it out of the calipers at each wheel. Make sure you keep the master cylinder reservoir full with new fluid. Bleed the calpers until new fluid flows out of each one. You might want to have a mechanically-inclined friend help you if you haven't done it before.

That's a good tutorial....let me suggest buying the ATE Super Blue brake fluid sold at www.fcpgroton.com This way you know when the new fluid comes through and the old is out...a change of color! Next time, use the Super Amber- plus it's the right stuff for your car!

The 2.8T and the T6 use the same fluid.
