General Information: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Volkswagen Touareg, 2016 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2015 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The bleeding of brake system using the Brake Charger/Bleeder Unit :VAS5234 is described.

WARNING:

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

NOTE:

Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, gas, cleaning solutions). Oils containing minerals damage seals and sleeves on brake systems.

Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must also 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.

Do not reuse brake fluid once drained.

Follow all disposal regulations.

There must be a positive pressure of 2.0 bar (29 psi) to bleed the hydraulic unit.
