- Raise the car, see item 29.
- Clean the brake lines with cold cleaner.
Caution: The brake pipes are coated with a plastic anti-corrosion layer. If this layer is damaged, the pipes may corrode. Therefore, it is forbidden to clean the brake pipes with a wire brush, sandpaper or screwdriver.
- Check the brake pipes from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders with a portable device. The master cylinder is located in the engine compartment under the brake system expansion tank.
- Brake pipes should not be bent or dented. They should not have rust or abrasions. Otherwise, replace the pipe up to the nearest connection.
- Brake hoses connect the brake pipes to the wheel cylinders on the moving parts of the car. They are made of a material that can withstand high pressure, but can become porous over time, swell, or be damaged by sharp objects. In any of these cases, they should be replaced immediately.
- To detect damage, bend the hoses in different directions. Hoses should not be installed twisted.
- Turn the steering wheel left and right until it stops. The brake hoses in both positions should not touch any parts of the car.
- The connection points of the tubes and hoses must not be wet from leaking brake fluid.
