How much brake fluid for a MK3 GTI?

I want to replace all the brake fluid in my MK3 GTI - how much fluid
would I need to do this? Someone told me about 3.5 litres - but this
sounds a bit much to me.

Thanks,

Aris

3.5 liters, holy cow... i think they were thinking engine oil, not brake
bluid, I'd say buy one can of super blue and your good to go.
but i'm a novice.

i'd get a litre or dot4 spec fluid. that should do you. if you empty the
reservoir before you start then you usually don't need as much. flush about
1/4 litre thru to each corner and that should do it nicely :-)
