[QUOTE="Halr, post: 1443352, member: 89185"] The dark fluid is pretty common when you haven't changed the fluid regularly or failed to activate the ABS during the regular maintenance fluid change. It evidently does not get bled out of the ABS parts of the system very well even though you get clear fluid coming out of the brake calipers. You must activate the ABS system to force the clean fluid through the ABS portion of the system and then you will get ALL the fluid changed properly. Never saw chunks being bled out, but have found debris in the reservours, either because of water contamination or some of the rubber seals starting to disintegrate. [/QUOTE]
