How often should the brake fluid be replaced in an Octavia?
1 Answers
The replacement interval for the brake fluid in an Octavia is 35,000 kilometers or 48 months. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic fluid, is the liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in a hydraulic braking system, used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. Almost all passenger vehicles have hydraulic braking systems, where the brake fluid serves as the medium for transmitting pressure. Simply put, every time you press the brake pedal, the force you apply is transmitted through the brake fluid to the caliper piston, which then pushes the brake pads to squeeze the brake disc, generating friction to slow the vehicle down. Here are the characteristics of brake fluid: 1. The freezing point of automotive brake fluid is very low, ensuring good fluidity in cold conditions. 2. The boiling point of automotive brake fluid is extremely high, preventing vapor lock in high-temperature conditions. 3. When using automotive brake fluid, you will notice minimal quality changes, and it does not cause corrosion to metals or rubber.
