Hydraulic brake fluid is the is one of the most important components of the braking system. Over a period of time, the fluid will absorb moisture from the atmosphere. This means it becomes less effective and lowers the boiling point of the fluid. Most manufacturers will, therefore, recommend it as preventive maintenance. Brake fluid should be carried out every two years. However, you can check your handbook to see when it best suitable for your car. At HiQ Tyres & Autocare Havant (Triangle Cars), we can have a look if you’re unsure. If you don’t know when it needs to be changed or when it was last changed, we’ll find out. We can examine the composition of the brake fluid and let you know the outcome. We’ll provide recommendations on what we think is the best route of action. And, we’ll check out your car’s service history to make sure you’re on track.
At HiQ Tyres & Autocare Havant (Triangle Cars) in Havant, we provide brake fluid top ups and a system clean. If your brake fluid is of poor quality we’ll make sure that gets changed. Over time, if your brake fluid contains moisture it can impact on the braking system. This can cause it to be less effective. Water laden brake fluid promotes corrosion on the brakes. Therefore, it’s always recommended to check your brake fluid, top it up when necessary and clean out the system every once in a while. This can be done subject to manufacturer recommendations.
Your brake fluid also acts as a lubricant, preventing corrosion of moving parts and allowing the braking system to deliver optimum performance. By changing the braking fluid at the recommended intervals, you are also helping to maintain the life of parts and achieving maximum braking efficiency.
If you notice that your brake fluid or handbrake light is illuminated on your dashboard & your brake fluid is low, visit our Havant garage for one of our helpful team to check your system. Low brake fluid typically means that your brake pads are worn. When brake pads are worn they may require changing. If this is not the case, loss of brake fluid could also be due to a leak which can be dangerous.
Loss of brake fluid could lead to a sudden loss of brakes, spongy brake pedal, reduced braking distance or braking failure. This could impact your safety so it’s best to get it checked out as soon as you can.
