Repair Volkswagen Passat B3-B4/Passat B3-B4>> Brake system>> Maintenance>> Replacement of brake fluid
Through a time of brake hoses and an air vent brake fluid adsorbs moisture from air therefore the boiling point of brake fluid goes down. At intensive operation of brakes there is a probability of emergence of steam traffic jams in the brake system that considerably will worsen work of brakes.
Replacement of brake fluid needs to be made every two years.
You make replacement of brake fluid in the following order:
remove a cover from a tank and, using the syringe, pump out brake fluid from a tank of the main brake cylinder, at the same time the level of the brake fluid which remained in a tank has to make 10 mm;

       PREVENTION
In order to avoid hit of air in the brake system do not pump out brake fluid completely.

add in a tank new brake fluid to the mark "Max";
remove a dustproof cap from the valve of pumping of the wheel cylinder of a back right wheel, clear it and put on it a pure transparent hose which other end lower in the capacity which is partially filled with brake fluid. Capacity has to be at least 300 mm above the pumping valve. Thanks to it hit of air in the cylinder through a valve carving is prevented;
unscrew the union of pumping on several turns and 10 times press a brake pedal against the stop;

       PREVENTION
Press a pedal until pure brake fluid does not begin to follow from a tube.

twirl the valve of pumping and add fresh brake fluid in a tank;
similarly replace brake fluid in pipelines and brake mechanisms of other wheels.
On cars with the hydraulic drive of coupling the tank of the main brake cylinder at the same time performs functions and a coupling hydraulic actuator tank therefore when replacing brake fluid it is also recommended to replace liquid in the coupling drive.
