Brake fluid change

Brake fluid is hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture. Due to this property, the fluid takes on atmospheric moisture from the surrounding air during its use. High levels of water in the brake fluid can lead to corrosion of the brake system. In addition, due to the water content in the brake fluid, the boiling point of the brake fluid is lowered. For these reasons, it is necessary to change the brake fluid after two years of use.

Only new original brake fluid approved by the company may be used "Skoda Auto". Specification: «FMVSS 116 DOT 4».

It is recommended to change the brake fluid on the occasion of service inspections at one of the service stations "Skoda".

Attention.

• If you use too old brake fluid, when the brakes are heavily loaded, bubbles can form from the evaporated water. This phenomenon greatly reduces the efficiency of the braking system and thus the safety of traffic.
• Brake fluid is poisonous!
• For this reason, it must be stored in closed original containers in places inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
• Brake fluid corrodes the varnished surfaces of the car.
