Technical Brake Fluid Service

[bartram108]

Had my car in for a service beginning of September - car now 2 years old.

Last week I got a letter from the garage advising that my car may now be due for a Brake Fluid Service, which is recommended every two years.

Questions; does the brake fluid really need changing, and if so why couldn't it have been done, or suggested, when it was in for a service?

Brake fluid does not generally degrade but you may want to get the brake bleed but thats about it for servicing them

It doesn't degrade but it does absorb water. What does it say in your handbook for service intervals?

 

[bravo jtdM150]

yup its hydrosopic - absorbs water - very important as it works all your hydraulics aswell (clutch cylinders). shouldnt be very expensive so get it done.

my brake fluid was changed during my 40k km service.
