Change the brake fluid? Regular maintenance is mandatory!

The correct oil level, a sufficiently full tank or the correct one Air pressure in the tires is closely watched by many drivers. But what about that brake fluid out? After all, the entire braking system in the vehicle is vital. And for it to work properly, it's not just the mechanical parts like Brake discs and brake pads be exchanged regularly. The brake fluid must also be changed regularly at the intervals specified by the manufacturer.

usually every 2 years

Usually the change is in most vehicles every two years necessary. And there in the braking system too Pollution It is recommended that the entire system be the same flush through. If a longer trip is planned on vacation, the technology of the vehicle in general and especially the Brake system to be checked. In the time between the intervals, it should be checked from time to time how much brake fluid is still in the expansion tank in the engine compartment. This check is useful if this is routine Engine oil and the coolant to be checked. Basically it is a closed system. A falling fluid level is therefore a sign that something is wrong.

Damage to the system can also occur between the maintenance intervals or lines can over time porous and are therefore responsible for the loss of brake fluid. If something like this was detected, the error should be quick from a workshop be resolved. This does not only apply to broken brake lines, but also to any faults or abnormalities in the brake system. It is essential to keep the appointment to change the brake fluid or to take action if problems arise.

And the liquid can also attract and retain moisture from the air. This is called hygroscopic property and ensures that the brake fluid loses its heat resistance. When the brake system is used to a great extent, such as when driving downhill with high braking temperatures, gas bubbles can form in the brake fluid. Due to the high pressure in the brake, these gas bubbles can compress and, in the worst case, ensure that the braking effect is no longer available.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
