Brake system and shock absorbers: in‐  
specting for leaks and damage  
Check following components for leaks and damage:  
♦ Brake master cylinder  
♦ Brake servo (for anti-lock brake system: hydraulic unit)  
♦ Brake pressure regulator and  
♦ Brake caliper  
♦ Shock absorbers (during inspection only)  
♦ Presence of dust caps on brake fluid bleeder screws  
♦ Presence of caps on guide bushes  
– Ensure that brake hoses are not twisted.  
– Additionally ensure that brake hoses do not touch any vehi‐  
cle components when steering is at full lock.  
– Check brake hoses for abrasion, porosity and brittleness.  
– Check brake lines for corrosion.  
– Check brake connections and fastenings for correct seating,  
leaks and corrosion.  
– Check brake lines and brake hoses for correct seating and  
attachment in retainers.  
Note  
Faults found must always be rectified (repair measure).

NOTICE  
Risk of damage to vehicle from corrosive brake fluid.  
Possible damage to paintwork and vehicle.  
– Avoid contact with components and paintwork and if nec‐  
essary rinse off any spilt brake fluid with water.  
NOTICE  
Risk of damage to brake system if brake fluid is used incor‐  
rectly.  
Mineral oils damage plugs and sleeves of the brake system.  
– Do not mix fluids containing mineral oil (oil, petrol, cleaning  
solution) with brake fluid.  
NOTICE  
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the  
ambient air.  
If the water content in the brake fluid is too high, the brake  
system could fail, and it promotes corrosion within the brake  
system.  
– Store brake fluid in air tight containers.  
Brake fluid level at delivery inspection  
– At delivery inspection, the fluid level must be at MAX. mark‐  
ing -1-.  
Note  
To prevent brake fluid from flowing out of the reservoir, the  
MAX. marking -1- must not be exceeded.  
Brake fluid level at inspection service  
Note  
♦ The fluid level must always be judged in conjunction with  
lining/pad wear.  
♦ When vehicle is in use, fluid level tends to drop slightly due  
to lining/pad wear and automatic adjustment.
