Diesel Particulate Filter: Checking; Dual Clutch Gearbox 02E: Changing Gear Oil And Filter - Volkswagen Passat 2011 Maintenance Manual

WARNING
♦ Never allow brake fluid to come into contact with fluids that
contain mineral oils (e.g. oil, petrol, cleaning agents). Min‐
eral oils will damage seals and rubber grommets of brake
system.
♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive
nature, it must not come into contact with paint.
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs mois‐
ture from the ambient air and should therefore always be
stored in air-tight containers.
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Observe relevant disposal regulations.
Brake fluid level at delivery inspection:
– At delivery inspection the fluid level must be at MAX. marking.
Note
In order that brake fluid does not overflow the reservoir, MAX
marking -1- must not be exceeded.
Brake fluid level at inspection service
The fluid level must always be judged in conjunction with lining/
pad wear.
When vehicle is in use, fluid level tends to drop slightly due to
lining/pad wear and automatic adjustment.
• Recommended brake fluid level, if brake pads are almost at
wear limit:
"At MIN marking or just above" -2-, "REPLENISHING IS NOT
REQUIRED".
• Recommended brake fluid level when brake pads are new or
well within pad wear limit:
"Between MIN and MAX marking".
WARNING
If fluid level is below MIN marking -2-, leak-tightness of brake
system must be checked before fluid is topped up, "Repair
measure".
