You definitely can suck the fluid out, if you have something to do that with, I didn't at the time so I just ran fluid through each reservoir about 4 times. Drain out all the fluid from the syringes/hoses/fittings wrap up in a paper towel, and put it away in a plastic bag, box, jar.

If you need to press the pistons back in to allow space for the new pads, you’ll be wanting to suck some fluid out of the reservoir to have room. My understanding is that the 2015x DCT is an ABS model so I selected XD (Auto G/box/ABS) which should cover the 12-17 model years. When the pistons are pushed back to make room for the new, thicker pads the original volume of fluid will be pumped back into the reservoir. My plan would be change the pads first then change the fluid - thought being to have the correct pad thickness in for the fluid change (recognizing we’re only talking mm of difference).The innovative stahlbus bleeder valve allows you to change the brake fluid yourself without assistance and in a very simple way.

BTW - be prepared to struggle to get the front calipers bled properly - air gets trapped inside and it can be frustrating to get it all out if it's your first time doing it. uk/" target="_blank" class="b-button__primary d-block mb-10 h-100 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center">
