Brake Fluid Exchange Service
Volkswagen Brake Fluid Exchange in Huntersville, NC
At Keffer Volkswagen, we operate a Volkswagen Service Department with expert technicians on the VW brake system. The brake system is hydraulic and relies on hydraulic brake fluid to transfer stopping power.
How Your Braking System Works
When you press the brake pedal to prevent stop, the master cylinder activates and distributes hydraulic force through the brake fluid to clamp the brake pads against the brake rotors. The powerful clamping action creating resistance at the rotors is contingent upon brake fluid’s integrity. Brake fluid notoriously contaminates if exposed to moisture and must remain within a sealed and vacuumed system to protect its integrity from humidity.

Symptoms of Contaminated Brake Fluid
Brake Fluid has a chemical property that readily absorbs water. If water collects within the brake lines, the pressure causes water to compress, which is a serious threat to the hydraulic system because it must pass pressure readily through the brake lines.
Also, if brake fluid leaks, the hydraulic performance will decline significantly until it won’t function properly at all. If you notice any of the symptoms of defective brake fluid performance, it is an excellent judgment to schedule service soon to protect stopping performance and safety. Here are the most common symptoms of defective brake fluid performance:
- Metallic grinding, squeaking, or squealing noise
- Brake system warning light
- Vibration or shaking while braking
- Leaking brake fluid
- Brake fluid is low and requires topping off
- Soft brake pedal that often must be pressed down farther to stop
- Stiff or harder brake pedal feel
- Vehicle needs more distance to stop
- Burning pungent smell when driving
Overview of Brake Fluid Exchange Protocall
Service begins with an expert technician, a certified brake fluid exchange protocol, and factory authorized brake fluid. The technician begins by draining the old brake fluid and inspecting the remaining brake system components. If at factory specifications support the new fluid, the technician installs the fresh brake fluid at factory specifications.
