Brake Fluid replacement

[gsp1]

In case that someone is interested in replacing the brake fluid my himself here is the procedure. The only problem (as they do for the oils also) is that they use somekind of pump to extract the old fluid? If someone has done this procedure please let us know details... thanks

Thanks for the info. The pump removes the old brake fluid to save time in pumping through the old oil to get to the new brake fluid. Another way is to suck as much brake fluid as possible out with a"cooking baster"( It's a rubber capped tube that sucks cooking juices out.)Your diagrams show AR #'s beside different models(ie: *BF42. 10-P-1001 01E) on the right side of the page. There might be more info with these other pages. I've bled many brakes and it's quite simple but with ESP & BA , you probably have to check a few things first to make sure all is OK. Here in North America small hydraulic jacks are available for single wheel lifting and removing. cost approx. 30 - 80 $ CDN. I hope they're available in Greece. If your not using the pump, then you need a helper to manually pump the new brake fluid through the lines. If you want great pics of how to do it, go to" Audiworld.com" > resources, >tech articles,> brakes& suspension. Their tech articles are the best ever and explained with humor. I wish I had their talent at explaining things.
\George , we will talk some more. Thanks again, Cheers, Derek
