Brake System, Bleeding

Brake System, Bleeding

Description covers bleeding of brake system using the brake filler/bleeder unit (VAS 5234).

CAUTION!
The Passat utilizes a new special brake fluid. This is indicated by the VW standard (VW 501 14).

• Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must also never be brought into contact with paint.

• Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and must therefore be stored in air-tight containers.

• Rinse off any spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.

There must be a positive pressure of 2 bar to bleed the hydraulic unit.
