Volkswagen Genuine Brake Fluid.
When braking, the brake fluid is pressurized. This pressure on the brake fluid transmits
the pedal force to the brakes. From time to time brake fluid absorbs water from
the air. When the water content in the brake fluid starts the reach a dangerous
level, it reduces its ability to transfer hydraulic pressure and causes the feared
“step into nothing” effect. Old brake fluid therefore needs to be replaced in specified
intervals to avoid delayed braking reaction and even complete brake failure.
What we do:
We check the level and inspect the system for leaks. We drain the system and fill
it with new Volkswagen Genuine Brake Fluid. The first replacement is due at your
45,000 km or 3rd year service and every 30,000 km or 2 years after.
Why Volkswagen Genuine Brake Fluid?
- Meets the high requirements of new models (VW standard 501 14, which represents
optimum quality for the brake systems of all Volkswagen vehicles)
- Short pressure build-up times
- Has a 10°C higher wet boiling point than standard brake fluids. This ensures greater
operational safety with a higher water content and under increased thermal loading.
Insist on Volkswagen Genuine Brake Fluid.
