What Causes Frequent Loss of Brake Fluid?
1 Answers
The reasons for frequent reduction of brake fluid are as follows: 1. Brake pad wear causes the brake fluid to replenish the pipelines, resulting in a decrease in the fluid level. 2. There may be a leak in the brake fluid pipeline, so it is recommended to inspect and repair it promptly. Methods to prevent brake fluid loss include: 1. Regularly check the brake pads. It is best to inspect the brake pads every 10,000 kilometers. Brake fluid should generally be replaced every 50,000 kilometers, but if driving in humid areas for extended periods, the replacement interval should be appropriately shortened. 2. Regularly check the brake fluid level. The brake fluid reservoir is made of translucent resin, and if it becomes dirty, simply wipe it with a cloth for a simple visual inspection. The brake fluid should reach the baseline of the reservoir. If the brake fluid level decreases significantly compared to the previous inspection, there is a high possibility of a malfunction, possibly due to a leak. Additionally, manual transmission vehicles are equipped with a clutch, and its fluid level should also be monitored. If the fluid level drops and air enters, effective braking may be compromised.
