Brake fluid
Brake fluid is often neglected during regular maintenance checks. Brake fluid attracts moisture out of the atmosphere (hygroscopic) every time you drive your vehicle. This means that over time arguably the most important part of you car’s safety system, the brakes, are operating partly on water. In time this will cause your brake cylinders, lines and ABS system to corrode and possibly fail when you need it to work the most!
By regularly flushing and renewing your brake fluid you prevent this from occurring. Mostly though, you will avoid a costly repair bill when your vehicle fails a WOF because your brakes don’t work properly. The cost to change your brake fluid could be as little as 10% of a repair bill |
