Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Brake Fluid Level, Checking
Brake Fluid Level, Checking
Use only new Original VW / Audi brake fluid.
CAUTION!
‹› Brake fluid is poisonous. Also, do not let brake fluid come into contact with paintwork.
‹› Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore always be stored in
air-tight containers.
-
Please observe the following:
Delivery Inspection
‹› Fluid level must be at MAX mark
‹› To prevent the brake fluid from overflowing from the reservoir, the level must not be over the MAX. mark.
Inspection Service
When driving, fluid level drops slightly from use and automatic brake pad adjustment.
-
Always check fluid level in conjunction with brake pad wear:
‹› When brake pads are new or if there is still enough brake lining left, the brake fluid level must be between MIN. and MAX. marks.
‹› With brake fluid at MIN. mark or slightly above, topping off brake fluid is not necessary when wear limit of brake pads has been almost reached.
CAUTION!
If brake fluid level is below MIN. mark, check brake system before adding brake fluid.
