Brake fluid (VW Passat B5)

Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, during the operation of the car, the brake fluid takes a certain amount of water from the surrounding air. Too much water in the brake fluid can eventually cause corrosion of the working brake system parts. In addition, the boiling point of the brake fluid is significantly reduced. Therefore, the brake fluid should be changed every two years!

Warning: If the brake fluid is very old, it is possible that, under high load on the service brake system, steam bubbles may form in the system. This has a negative effect on the efficiency of the service brake system and, therefore, on driving safety.

Warning: Use only recommended brake fluid (uS FMVSS 116 DOT 4 specification).

Warning: Brake fluid is poisonous. Therefore, it should be stored only in closed original containers and especially out of the reach of children. In addition, it should be borne in mind that brake fluid destroys the paintwork.
