The Role of Brake Fluid
The brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid that is contained in the brake fluid reservoir. When the brakes are engaged, it runs through the brake lines allowing for the transfer of power through the system. It also plays the vital role of protecting the internal brake parts from corrosion and allowing them to move efficiently. Over time, the brake fluid can break down, requiring it to be replaced. Suppose moisture or other contaminants have seeped into the brake system. In that case, it can accelerate the breakdown of the brake fluid, requiring a brake fluid exchange service earlier than the recommended service interval.

Signs of Ineffective Brake Fluid
Brake fluids can be one of the most overlooked fluids in your vehicle. You need to watch out for any signs of ineffective brake fluid so you can get the brake system inspected on time. Some newer vehicles will have an illuminated ABS (anti-locking braking system) light if there is an issue with the brake fluid. You might also experience problems with the brake pedal, such as having a spongy or sluggish feel to it. A burning smell or strange noises when braking could also signal issues with the brake fluid. Keep in mind that these signs could signal an issue with other brake parts to require a comprehensive brake system inspection.
How Often is Brake Fluid Exchange Required?
At Garnet Volkswagen of West Chester, we recommend you follow the service interval provided by the vehicle manufacturer for all types of service. The brake fluid exchange service interval will depend on mileage and time, whichever comes first. Other factors such as driving conditions and braking patterns can also influence the service interval for brake fluid.
