At Heritage Parts Centre we believe regular maintenance is key to keeping your Volkswagen Rabbit Mk1 alive and kicking. Along with service parts, that comes down to using the correct fluids.

Brake Fluid for Mk1 Rabbit

It’s not just engine fluids such as oil and Rabbit Mk1 coolant that we stock in huge quantities. We carry a number of different Mk1 Rabbit brake fluid options too. 

Being Hygroscopic, it is important that your brake fluid is changed every few years to stop any atmospheric moisture within the fluid causing long term damage to the brake lines, hoses and components. Basically rusting and corroding them from the inside out. 

Rabbit Mk1 Transmission Oil

It is not changed with nearly the frequency it should be, plus it smells terrible too. But it can make a world of difference to your driving experience if you renew your Mk1 Rabbit transmission oil!

Check your workshop manual for the correct fluid specification and importantly, how much you will need. 

Workshop Essentials: VW Brake Cleaner and Absorbent Granules

A well-equipped workshop is incomplete without a can of brake cleaner for efficient part cleaning during disassembly. Additionally, some absorbent granules to manage leaks or spills that may occur in your garage or workshop are a useful thing to keep in a cupboard. 

Whatever your maintenance needs, order with confidence from Heritage Parts Centre, specialists in classic VW spare parts since 1986.
