ways replace the brake linings on both sides (repair
measure).
Avoid soiling from brake fluid or grease flowing out.
Inspecting brake system for leaks and
damage
–Inspect master brake cylinder, brake servo unit (for
ABS: hydraulic unit), brake pressure regulator, brake
calipers for leaks and damage.
–Inspect brake hoses for twisting.
–Ensure that the brake hoses do not touch any parts of
the vehicle when the steering is turned to full left or full
right lock.
–Inspect the brake hoses for porous and brittle points.
Inspect the brake hoses and brake lines for chafing
points.
–Inspect the brake connections and attachments to en-
sure they are correctly fitted, free of leaks and corro-
sion.
Changing brake fluid (every 2 years)
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Extraction device
♦Brake pedal support, e.g. - V.A.G 1869/2-
Use only fresh genuine brake fluid FMVSS 571.116 DOT
4.
–Unscrew cap -1- from the brake fluid reservoir
Note
WARNING!
Any defects found must be rectified (repair meas-
ure).
WARNING!
Brake fluid must never come into contact with
fluids containing crude oils (oil, petrol, cleaning
agent). Crude oils damage the gaskets and
boots of the brake system.
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
should always be stored in airtight containers.
Wash any parts stained with brake fluid with
large volumes of water.
Observe the disposal instructions!

–Tightne bleeder screw and remove the hose.
–Put the clutch pedal in home position.
All vehicles
When changing the brake fluid it is necessary to replenish
the brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid.
–Fit hose of extraction device -1- onto the bleeder
screw of the rear right wheel.
1)
–Open the bleeder screw and by depressing the brake
pedal allow approx. 0.2 litres of brake fluid to flow out.
