Brake Fluid: Service and Repair

Brake Fluid

Only use new brake fluid conforming to VW standard (VW 501 14).

• Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must never be brought into contact with paint.

• Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore be stored in air-tight containers.

• Wash off any spilled brake fluid with plenty of water.
