Nope I declared the 'right amount' paid a small fee and walked on by.

Just thought I'd update the outcome of fitting the kore3 brake kit and the hydroboost. The braking is nothing short of brilliant now. I do understand how some might find it touchy as you can use a big toe on the pedal and pull the car up instantly,but it's one of those things you will get used to quickly. My old system was as firm as pudding so this is great. Two great products.

Saweeet! I'm glad you got everything sorted out as I'm sure it's always a bit sketchy hand carrying parts half way around the world hoping you have all of the correct parts. If you have any pics, we'd love to see how it all turned out.

Cheers,

To answer your question, most don't, but it is a good idea IMO. Just like any other lubricant, the closer you can keep it to it's ideal operating temperature range the better for not only the fluid, but the components that are relying on it. Hydroboost doesn't add that much load to the power steering pump and system relatively speaking, but every little bit helps.
