Subject: Brake Fluid Change/Topping Off


Model(s): All Audi Vehicles


Important!

^ Brake fluid is extremely sensitive to contamination.

^ When topping off (only if the level is below minimum) or when changing brake fluid use new brake fluid type DOT 4 (according to US Standard FMVSS 166).

^ Only use brake fluid from the original container. Brake fluid must be free from contaminants, such as mineral oil, power steering fluid, moisture etc., since even the smallest amount of contaminants (more than 0.1% of the total quantity) can cause swelling of rubber components, master cylinder boots and damage the system.

^ Brake system damage caused by using incorrect or contaminated fluid is not covered by warranty.
