General Information

WARNING:

Warning information for the high voltage system:

For procedures where the ignition must be switched off, refer to PROCEDURES FOR WHICH THE IGNITION NEEDS TO BE SWITCHED OFF .

NOTE:

Use only new Original VW / Audi brake fluid. Refer to the Parts information.

WARNING:
  • Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, gas, cleaning solutions). Oils containing minerals damage seals and rubber grommets on brake systems.
  • Brake fluid is poisonous. Do not let brake fluid come into contact with paintwork.
  • Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore always be stored in air-tight containers.
  • Rinse off any leaking brake fluid with water.
  • Do not reuse used / extracted brake fluid!
  • Follow all disposal regulations.
