Brake Fluid Flush & Replacement
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air over time. This lowers its boiling point, which can lead to brake failure during long descents on mountain roads. It is highly recommended to replace the fluid every 2 years or 40,000 km.
When is a brake fluid change necessary?
-
The brake pedal feels "spongy" or sinks to the floor.
-
It has been more than 2 years since the last service.
-
The fluid has turned dark or cloudy.
-
A professional test indicates a high moisture content.
What is included in the service:
-
Draining the old fluid from the master cylinder reservoir.
-
Flushing the entire system with fresh fluid (DOT 3, 4, or 5.1 as specified).
-
Complete bleeding of the brake lines to remove all air bubbles.
-
Testing for leaks and verifying firm pedal response.
