How to Replace Brake Fluid for Geely Vision?

Use a lift to raise the vehicle, connect both ends of the prepared transparent hose to the waste oil collection bottle, and loosen the drain screw counterclockwise with a wrench. The person inside the vehicle should repeatedly press the brake pedal. Brake fluid will spray out from the drain port. Pay attention to the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir and add new brake fluid as the level drops. Once the fluid runs clear, tighten the drain screw.

I once changed the brake fluid on my Geely Vision by myself, and it went pretty smoothly. The key points are to prepare the right new fluid, preferably DOT4 specification. First, lift the car or support it securely with a jack, then siphon out the old fluid from the brake fluid reservoir and fill it with new fluid up to the marked line. Next, open the bleeder bolts on the brake calipers of all four wheels. Have one person slowly press the brake pedal to build pressure while another uses a wrench to loosen the bolts and release the fluid until new fluid without bubbles flows out, then tighten the bolts. Bleeding the air is crucial; otherwise, the brakes will feel spongy. After the change, test the brake performance for a few minutes. Tools needed include a wrench, small tubing, and a fluid funnel, and always wear gloves for hand protection. Beginners shouldn’t rush—if inexperienced, it’s best to ask a friend for help or visit a professional shop to avoid trouble, as safety is paramount. For daily driving in the Vision, regularly check the fluid; old fluid can degrade and affect braking distance. DIY like this can save a few hundred bucks, but don’t cut corners.

I've changed the brake fluid a few times and found it's not too complicated for Geely Vision owners. First, use a jack to stabilize the car and ensure safety. Locate the reservoir in the engine bay, extract the old fluid, then refill with new DOT4 fluid to the full mark. Next, go to each wheel, loosen the bleeder screw, have someone press the brake pedal to release old fluid until new fluid flows clean, then tighten. The key is having two people work together to bleed air bubbles to prevent brake failure. After changing, test drive to ensure proper pedal feedback. Tools are simple—just a wrench and tubing. Routine maintenance recommends changing every 2 years or 40,000 km since fluid absorbs moisture, lowering boiling point and weakening braking. The Vision's design is user-friendly; DIY-savvy owners can save money, otherwise visiting a 4S shop ensures professional service and peace of mind.

As an average car owner with limited experience in changing brake fluid, here's a simplified guide. First, check the Geely Vision manual to confirm DOT4 fluid specification. Jack up the car, open the reservoir, extract old fluid and pour in new. Work on wheels one by one - loosen bleeder bolts, pump brakes until clean fluid emerges, then tighten. Avoid air ingress that causes spongy pedal. Road test after completion. This DIY requires minimal tools and time but demands precision. Regular replacement prevents brake failure risks.

Last time I changed the brake fluid for my Geely Vision, it took me half a day. The key steps are jacking up the car, replacing the fluid reservoir, bleeding the old fluid from each wheel and filling with new fluid while purging air. The tools needed are wrenches and a fluid hose. After jacking up the car, suck out the old fluid and fill the reservoir with new DOT4 fluid to the max line. Then open the bleed screws on all four wheels, have one person press the brake pedal to build pressure while the other releases fluid until it runs clear before tightening. Repeatedly check for air bubbles to avoid potential hazards. Test for normal operation afterwards. Maintenance recommendation is to change the fluid every 20,000 km, as older fluid contains more moisture which reduces braking performance. Beginners who aren't confident can go to a professional shop for safety, convenience and cost savings. DIY is more fun but requires some basic knowledge.
