Hi,

i need to change my brake fluid on my 1.6 e12. I have been told that it is DOT 5.1 .

Also do people know how much places like kwick-fit etc, charge to change the brake fluid as toyota wanted £57 :(

Thanks

Than do it yourself , Buy 1 liter Breakfluid a small hose to put on the nipple on the brake calipers put the hose in a bottle unscrew the nipple a bit so the old brakefluid is coming out in the hose in to the bottle begin at the rear wheel on the passengers side than the drivers side than at the front at the passengers side than at least the frontwheel at on the driversside .

Constently fill the resevoir under the bonnet so its not possebly that air is going .

when you have a a big pressure on the brakepedal start the engine than it go,s much easyer

Dot 5.1 is the best

Unless you know what you are doing...Dont touch the brakes yourself. It's a 2 man job to do it properly. These home bleed kits are crap.

You need someone pushing the pedal halfway, whilst the other person is opening and locking off the bleed nipple.

Personally If I didnt know what I was doing, I would pay the £57.

How much is your life worth ? :yes:
