When flushing brake fluid, which is done annually, or biannually, depending on the vehicle, don't forget to flush the clutch fluid, for those vehicles with manual gearboxes. Here is a case of a car only a few years old, that had decent looking brake fluid, but the clutch fluid? Abysmal. This can lead to premature failure of the clutch slave, or master cylinder. On this mk7 GTI, it's a chore to replace a clutch slave cylinder. Avoid this with minor maintenance.
