Default Which clutch fluid

Evening folks

So as per title. Going to change my clutch fluid and wanted to know what the most common was. My04 car bog standard engine. Engine oil is Fuchs Titan pro race 5w 40. So was looking for something equivalent.

I think it's actually DOT3 that's specified - most people will run the same as whatever their brake fluid is though. I'm planning on ATE Super Blue / Type 200 next time I do the brakes and clutch (and a clutch delay valve removal while I'm at it)

Perfect. Thanks. I'm only just starting to get around the engine bay after 8 months of ownership. Out of interest is the clutch and take reservoir separate on the s2ks??

Yes they are separate but right next to each other. A good first start (rather than getting under the car to properly bleed it) with the clutch fluid is to suck it out with a syringe/baster, clean all the black/grey gunge out with a lint-free cloth and top up with fresh DOT3 from one of those small 1.79p top-ups from your local auto factors.
