Procedure for changing brake fluid
-
Fill reservoir with new brake fluid up to upper edge. Connect bleeder device to reservoir.
Clamp shut overflow hose/venting hose with a hose clamp. The overflow hose/venting hose has been omitted as from October 1995.
Switch on bleeder device. Bleeder pressure approx. 1.5 bar.
-
Proceed with brake fluid change on the individual calipers (no particular sequence required).
Open each bleeder valve until clear, bubble-free brake fluid escapes or until the respective change quantity per caliper is reached (approx. 250 cc).
Make sure all brake calipers are bled on both bleeder valves.
-
To monitor the escaping brake fluid for cleanliness, freedom from air bubbles and to determine the brake fluid used, use a recipient bottle.
-
Also drain some brake fluid at the bleeder valve of the clutch slave cylinder (approx. 50 cc).
-
Switch off and disconnect bleeder device. Top up brake fluid if required.
