Brake Fluid Service
Your brakes must be in reliable working condition – for your safety and the safety of others.
Why should the brake fluid be changed?
The brake fluid has to meet some high demands. It’s the only way your car will stop.
Remains fluid, even in cold conditions:
Brake fluid can neither freeze nor become too viscous in frosty conditions.
Absorbs moisture:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic: It absorbs water, thereby ensuring that no droplets develop in the brake system – the cause of rust and a reduced braking force.
Higher boiling point:
Brake fluid cannot boil, as this would result in the formation of steam bubbles that can be compressed. This would result in an incomplete transfer of the braking force to the brakes.
Why should the brake fluid be changed?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. As a result, the amount of water in your brake system remains low. However, the amount in the brake fluid increases over time. If it’s too high, the boiling point decreases, which may result in the formation of moisture bubbles. If you hit the brakes, these bubbles compress and the braking force is lost.
Can I change the brake fluid myself?
Your brakes must be in reliable working condition – for your safety and the safety of others. Therefore, only allow trained professionals to carry out any work on your brakes.
When is it time to change the brake fluid?
With a new Volkswagen, the brake fluid should be changed for the first time after *three years – after that, we recommend changing it every two years.
*This is VIN/chassis number dependent
