Warning! Regularly check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. It should be slightly below the "MAX" mark on the wall of the master cylinder reservoir.
A drop in the fluid level indicates either a leak in the brake fluid system or excessive wear of the brake pads. If the low brake fluid light comes on in the instrument cluster, do not rush to add fluid immediately, first check the thickness of the brake pad linings - it may be time replace pads?
Car manufacturers recommend replacing all brake fluid in the system after a certain period. Some drivers ignore this advice because the fluid in the tank seems clean enough to them, and this is completely in vain. The fact is that brake fluid is very hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture from the air, and moisture over time not only destroys the surfaces of brake cylinders, pipes and, as a result, leads to premature failure of brake system components, but also significantly reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid.
Normal boiling point of the brake fluid "Neva" — 190°C, "Tom" — 210°C, "Dew" — 260°C. During frequent heavy braking, the front wheel disc brakes become very hot, and if the water content is high, the brake fluid can boil, which usually leads to brake failure.
Helpful advice: In order to avoid unexpected expenses in the future for repairs not only of the brake system, but of the entire car, replace the fluid in the brake system.
