Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Brake Hydraulic system, bleeding and changing brake fluid.
WARNING: Brake fluid is poisonous.
-
It must NEVER be removed by siphoning with your mouth.
-
If brake fluid contacts skin or eyes, flush or wash adequately to prevent irritation. Get medical attention immediately if necessary
-
Brake fluid must be disposed of properly in compliance with environmental regulations.
CAUTION:
-
Do not allow brake fluid to mix with liquids that contain mineral oils (e.g. motor oil, cleaning agents). Mineral oils damage the plugs and seals in
file brake hydraulic system.
-
Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into contact with paint due to its caustic effect.
-
Brake fluid is hydroscopic, in other words it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore always be stored in airtight containers.
Note:
-
Only use new brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
-
Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification.
-
Rinse off any spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.
-
When the system is open do not work with compressed air and do not move the vehicle.
-
During the final road test, make sure at least one ABS-controlled braking operation is carried out (normal pulsations must be felt at the brake
pedal).
