Point 21 of the Maintenance Check Sheet: Replace Brake Fluid
Does it mean I have to drain the system or top-up only? Janusz www.yahodeville.com |

merebrowpaul - regret to say, but I have not seen you there. Maybe next time
As for the main topic - any other inputs on brake fluid change? Mine has 40.000 km on the clock and +3 years (assuming dealers have not replaced it during theirs checks). Janusz www.yahodeville.com |

It should be replaced every 3 years or so. Brake fluid absorbs water and that may start boiling if you have to brake hard a few times after each other.
Was explained to me, so if I am wrong, I was told wrong. Roel 1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001) 1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009) 2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts. 2003 90 Td5 (2009-now) |

Is replacing it a difficult thing? I can not find detailed instructions in the Workshop Manual (or am I looking at wrong page - Brake System - General Information - Brake System Bleeding; General Procedures?). Janusz

Many garages can check the brake fluid to see its water content.
Some cars can go for an age, others cant...if nothing else, see if a garage has the tool to check Mike |
