Brake System Bleeding General Information
Description covers bleeding of brake system using the brake filler and bleeder tool VAS 5234 and V.A.G 1869.
Note:
^
Bleeding the braking system on vehicles with ABS is carried out as for vehicles with conventional braking systems.
^
Only use new brake fluid conforming to US-Norm FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
^
Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification.
^
Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must also never be brought into contact with paint.
^
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore be stored in air tight containers.
^
Rinse off spills, by using plenty of water.
There must be a positive pressure of 2 bar to bleed the hydraulic unit.
