Brake Fluid: Service and Repair


Brake system, bleeding (vehicles with and without ABS)
Changing brake fluid

Notes:
^ Only use new brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
^ Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification.
^ Brake fluid is poisonous. Do not siphon by mouth.
^ Brake fluid is corrosive and must not come into contact with painted parts.
^ Rinse off spillages using plenty of water.
^ Brake absorbs moisture from the ambient air and must therefore always be stored in airtight containers.
