Some people people think flushing brake fluid is not needed, and just a scam to up-sell service during oil change and courtesy inspection. Ive tested brake fluid when I worked in the industry. We used special test strips to detect copper and fluid oxidation, and water. I wondered how accurate these test strips were. My strip showed 300-400 parts copper, and oxidation. Fluid looked a little green. Copper is an indication that excessive wear and oxidation of the brake lines and components are occuring. I took a sample of the brake fluid and sent it to lab for testing. Results showed it had low viscosity, and high copper contamination. So the test strip was accurate. I flush my fluid every 3 years, or 50k. At 190k, I've had no, rust or contamination related problems, no leaks, or other brake problems.
Make sure to spray the bleeders with wd40 before. Sometimes u need to use heat if they are rusted, and dont use too much force
I have to do this pretty soon. Brakes are fine, just need to change the fluid. Good video.
Thanks for the helpful video today.
I was concerned air would get sucked in past the bleeder valve threads when the brake petal is released. Plus, cant see the results when in the drivers seat. As a sanity check and the help of my wife, bleed one and no air bubbles. Thanks for the tip, seems to work.
great video, how air gets into the system when is not obvious leaks??. Thanks
You can use what Scotty Kilmer recommends, even through it's with DOT 3. Using Bosch 5.1.
You are 1 of the best mech on RUclips
Sometimes if the brakes are still spongy after bleeding the whole system then the whole master cylinder needs to be changed! The seals in the master cylinder has worn out and can't handle the pressure.
Can you please talk about ABS system on a 2010 Ford Transit van? Lol! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 my ABS light is on and I just bought the van and asked the previous owner about it and she said she had it checked out and they said the brakes were fine but I guess it’s the sensor! But how do you know WHICH sensor needs to be replaced? And is it easy to fix by myself? Lol!
I’m a girl ( just fyi) haha! I can do a lot of things by myself but idk about this.
Tysm
The Ford Transit can have its ABS light remain on, for a few reasons. You could just be low on brake fluid, triggering the light to come on as a reminder. Topping up the fluid will resolve it. You could also have more serious issues like an ABS If Your wheel speed sensors are faulty, then the ABS light will also come on and stay on. Changing the sensors should resolve the problem. Your welcome
And if u want to change then I recommend you to first search a video of how can u change then probably is easy if u do it in the right way but change all 4 one in every wheel u are gonna find the behind the. Disk
Thank you so much for this information! You’re absolutely awesome! 👏
@@rodolfosandoval4840well the brake fluid is full and clean so I’m guessing it’s the sensors . Ugh!
@@chartmann43yes most likely
Nice!
Civics is different. Driver's side 1st.
Sorry but please correct me if i wrong
If my car is using ABS module, flushing the brake fluid like this video is only flush the brake system but not flushing abs module at once? Because its different for flushing brake fluid in the abs module?
Am i wrong? Please correct me if i wrong 🙏
If you want to get 100% of old fluid out, you need a scan tool to activate the ABS. Also if the system is ran dry, or large amounts of air into primary part of hydraulic system, you will need to activate the ABS, most situations do not require it.
@@tssci6774 thanks for the explanation
Anyway, sorry one more question..
When we bleed the brake system, is it better we bleed it with the engine is on or its okay with the engine off?
@@hutomoardi1940 off
@@tssci6774 thanks a lot !!🙏
🎉🎉
I'm guna replace my front pads on my car do I need to bleed the rear as well?
Nope!
