Hi everybody,

I have just bought a new Fiat Punto from 2001.
The brake fluid level is a little low so I need to top it up.
However when I pour brake fluid in the brake tank, the fluid remains on the first part of the tank that is separated from the main part by a little "net".
This one seem to tight to let the fluid go.

has anybody got a trick on how to top up brake fluid ?
...I feel very stupid, but I can't do it !!

Thank you
Christophe
 
hi, this is a filter to keep crap out of the reservoir.

if it doesn't go through the mesh then there is a small air lock - the air in the reservoir pushing/keeping the brake fluid on top of the mesh.

it is likely to seep through slowly, or if you gently tap with your knuckles the neck of the reservoir it will go through!!!

you may want to check around your brakes for evidence of cyclinder leaking as the brakes are a sealed system and the brake fluid level should not go down.
