Default MY03 STi 20,000 mile service

I've recently had the aforementioned service carried out and only noticed today that the service record states that the brake fluid should be replaced but I haven't been charged for brake fluid so I am assuming it wasn't done. The service record table does state that this is for the WRX Turbo and there is no specific mention of the STi which I know has a different brake system.

Can anyone on here who's had the 20,000 mile service done on the 03 STi tell me whether the brake fluid should have been replaced, just so I don't make a fool of myself in the dealers!

Thanks.

I had mine carried out last Wednesday.

The dealer gave me a copy of the car service detail to show what was carried out as part of the service and yes "place brake fluid" is listed as part of the 20k service and I have been charged for brake fluid on the invoice.

...oh and yes I have a my03 sti

Basically it should be the following:-

Engine oil and filter
Diffs
Gearbox
Break/clutch fluid
Coolant (well i get it done every 2 years)

Thanks for your replies guys, looks like I need to contact the dealer on Monday and find out why they didn't do it.

Yea mine were just done at 30k.

Do all Subaru dealers do this petrol treatment at every service?? Its on my 30k service at £10.95. Honda never used to do this. Is it necessary with these engines?
