At Meta Mechanics, we understand how crucial brake fluid is for the performance and safety of your Audi S4. The brake fluid plays a vital role in the hydraulic braking system by transferring force from the brake pedal to the brake components. Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated and lose its effectiveness, which is why regular brake fluid changes are essential. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the recent Audi S4 brake fluid change we performed and why it’s so important for your vehicle.
What We Found:
When we inspected the brake system of the Audi S4, we discovered the following:
- Brake Fluid Contamination
- Problem: The brake fluid had absorbed moisture and contaminants, reducing its boiling point and overall effectiveness. Moisture can cause the fluid to degrade and corrode internal components of the braking system.
- Solution: We drained the old brake fluid and replaced it with fresh, high-quality brake fluid that meets Audi’s specifications. This ensures the braking system operates efficiently, even in extreme conditions.
- Brake Fluid Level Check
- Problem: The brake fluid level was slightly low, which can lead to spongy brake pedal feel and inconsistent braking performance.
- Solution: We topped off the brake fluid to the recommended level and ensured there were no leaks in the brake system that could cause fluid loss.
- Air in the Brake Lines
- Problem: Air in the brake lines can cause a spongy or soft brake pedal feel, affecting braking response and overall vehicle safety.
- Solution: After replacing the fluid, we bled the brake lines to remove any trapped air, restoring firm pedal feel and ensuring proper braking performance.
