Very worried as mixed G11 with G12 in my Golf!!!

Besides, DOT is an official governmental classification for brake fluids, G11/12 is just a VW-only specification

DOT levels are "evolutions" really, VW G specs are not

afaik 5 and 5.1 can too

Our survey says... NO. DOT5 Silicone, DOT5.1 Glycol.

So? You messed both up.

/Makes mental note to not let rypt near any vehicle I may sit in.

I did say DOT 4 and DOT 3 in my post ... which CAN be mixed

afaik 5 and 5.1 can too

Nope, DOT 5.1 is a typical fluid in the sense that you can mix with DOT 3 and 4 that you find in road cars. Race cars use the silicone for uber performance at the expense of life..... we're back to the same point I made earlier in this thread.

This is why any advice from rypt on this forum is as incredible as MPG claims from MikeHiow.

Im a customer buying stuff off a shelf... what on the label is all that matters.

If by repeat you meant "said the opposite of", then congratulations, you did indeed.

I assume by repeat you mean fail to quote your ninja edit, then that's your own fault.
