Brake fluid reservoir

The brake fluid reservoir is an important part of the brake system. This is where the brake fluid is stored. This  brake fluid is necessary for the car to brake. The reservoir is located in the engine compartment of the car and has a small sight glass. Through this glass you can see how much brake fluid is left in the reservoir. Does the brake fluid level seem to be dropping rapidly? This may indicate that there is a leak in the brake fluid reservoir. In order to optimally maintain the braking power of the car, a leaking brake fluid reservoir must therefore be replaced as soon as possible. Enter your car model on the website to see which reservoir is suitable for your car.

The brake fluid allows the car to slow down. The brake system on most cars is a hydraulic system. When the car's brake pedal is pressed, there is pressure on the brake fluid in the  brake lines. With this pressure, the brake pads are eventually pressed against the brake discs and the car can slow down.

Brake fluid is stored in the brake fluid reservoir, which is located in the engine compartment of the car. From here, the brake fluid can be pumped through the brake lines. You should therefore regularly check whether there is still sufficient brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. The brake fluid level can be checked by looking at the brake fluid reservoir through the sight glass.

Brake fluid reservoir leaking

Do you notice that the brake fluid level drops quickly? Then it may be that the brake fluid reservoir is broken or damaged. However, a rapidly falling brake fluid level can also indicate that the brake pads are worn. When the brake pads are worn, they can be pushed in further, which will require more brake fluid pressure. Are the brake pads still in good condition? Then there is a good chance that the brake fluid reservoir is leaking. You can also recognize a leak by a puddle of brake fluid under the car. In the event of a leak, there is a chance that the braking system will eventually fail completely. Therefore, make sure that you check the brake fluid level regularly and that a defective brake fluid reservoir is replaced as soon as possible.

Replace brake fluid reservoir

You can replace the brake fluid reservoir yourself if you have the right knowledge and technical insight. It is important that the reservoir is connected correctly so that the braking system maintains its optimum function. Would you rather entrust the job to a professional? Then make sure you buy the reservoir from Winparts and deliver it to the garage yourself. This way you save a lot of costs.
