Default Brake fluid = power stering fluid? (T or F)

ok so I went over to napa and i found the PS fluid(Pentosin CHF 11S (OEM)) and they said it could also be used as brake fluid on the Audi!?! Is this true or did they make it up? and specific Brake fluid to use? sorry for all the questions just trying to get the car running perfectly before i start taking it to school

any regular DOT4 or DOT5.1 brake fluid.

the clutch uses the same fluid as the brakes, maybe that is what they were trying to remember but failed. when you flush the brakes remember to do the clutch line as well. i used ATE brand fluid, type 200 it think its called. i like it but it can make the clutch pedal feel squeaky sometimes.

I use Castrol GT LMA (Low Moisture Activity). Its full synthetic brake fluid.
