Instructions
Step 1
To fill up the brake fluid, you must find in the vehicle operating instructions information about where exactly the brake fluid reservoir is located. It is in it that the bay will need to be produced. As a rule, the reservoir is located under the hood, but there are still exceptions. Therefore, it is important not to listen to the advice of owners of cars of other brands, since there is a possibility of making a mistake and pouring brake fluid into antifreeze. And this can lead to damage to parts of the cooling system.
Step 2
Before you start filling, you should find out what the design of the brake system is. In the case when the car has an integral ABC, it is not permissible to replace the brake fluid with your own hands. In order to avoid all sorts of problems, it is best to contact a car service.
Step 3
The brake fluid is poured into the brake circuits one by one. You should start with the wheel that is as far as possible from the main brake cylinder. With a diagonal outline of the contours, such a wheel is the right rear wheel, followed by the left front wheel, then the left rear and right front. If there is a parallel circuit of the contours, then first there is the right rear wheel, followed by the left rear wheel, then the right front and left front.
Step 4
The car must be jacked up or installed on the "pit". After that, you should remove the wheels and start filling the brake fluid in a diagonal or parallel pattern. When the brake fluid is changed, it is necessary to bleed the brakes.
Step 5
The type of brake fluid most suitable for a car, as well as the tools required for its filling, the sequence and individual characteristics of work directly depend on the car model. You can clarify these nuances for replacing brake fluid in the car manual.
