BRAKE SYSTEM, BLEEDING
| WARNING | Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids containing mineral oils (oil, gas, cleaning solutions). Mineral oil damages the sealing plugs and boots of the brake system. Brake fluid is poisonous. NEVER siphon brake fluid with your mouth! Also due to its corrosive effect, brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore be stored in air-tight containers. When bleeding, brake fluid that has been flushed through must not be reused and must be disposed of properly. Observe disposal regulations, refer to BRAKE FLUID . |
Note. Only use new brake fluid conforming to US-Norm FMVSS 116 DOT 4. Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification. Do not use any silicone-based fluid. Avoid contaminating brake fluid with particles or lint (for example from cleaning cloths). Rinse off spills, by using plenty of water. Do not work with compressed air and do not move vehicle while the system is open. During the final road test, ensure that a ABS-controlled brake test is performed at least once (pulsation must be felt at the brake pedal). The brake system indicator light blinks when the brake fluid is too low or the ABS system or parking brake is malfunctioning.

BRAKES, TESTING FOR LEAKS
Note. The hydraulic brake system must be bled. Only install genuine parts or components approved by Audi in the brake system. The if the brake fluid replacement interval specified by Audi is exceeded, replace the brake fluid. Check the system visually for leaks. Fix leaks and remove dirt on the hydraulic system.
Switch the engine off.
Press the brake pedal until there is no more brake assistance - "pump the brake booster empty". The brake pedal becomes hard.
Press the brake pedal about 20 mm out of the resting position.
Hold the force on the pedal steady for about 20 seconds.
The brake pedal travel must not increase.
Release the brake pedal.
Press firmly on the brake.
Hold the force on the pedal steady for about 20 seconds.
The brake pedal travel must not increase.
If the pedal sinks down during one of the tests, repeat the visual inspection on the brake system.
If no leaks are found, the brake master cylinder is probably has leaks and must be replaced.
| CAUTION | Brake fluid must not run into the brake booster when replacing the brake master cylinder. |
