Brake System Bleeding General Information

Brake System Bleeding General Information

• Bleeding the brake system on vehicles with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is carried out the same as for vehicles with conventional brake 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.
