Headlight Adjustment - Check And Adjust Headlights If Necessary - Volkswagen FOX 2004 Service Manual

FOX 2004 ➤
Maintenance - Edition 07.2010
Please note the following:
Delivery inspection:
In the delivery inspection, the fluid level must be at the maximum
marking.
Note
In order to prevent the brake fluid from overflowing, the maximum
marking must not be exceeded.
Inspection service:
– The fluid level must always be assessed, based on the brake
pad wear. With the vehicle in operation, the fluid level lowers
due to wear and the automatic seating of the brake pads.
– With the fluid level at the minimum marking and slightly above
it, it becomes necessary to replenish the fluid when the brake
pad wear limit has almost been reached.
– If the pads are new, or far from their wear limit, the fluid level
must be within the minimum and maximum markings.
– If the fluid level drops below the minimum marking, check the
brake system (repair measure) before replenishing the brake
fluid.
