Brake oil pipes replacement instructions

Model: Lexus IS MK 3 - Years 2013-2023
Part: Brake pads

If you notice any signs of deterioration on the lining of the brake hoses or even injuries causing oil to leak out of the brake hoses, it is absolutely important to replace these hoses. Then lift the car on a lift or on suitable car stands and remove the wheels to access the brake hoses: then unscrew the fittings that secure the rubber hose to the steel supply line and to the brake caliper, paying attention to the leaking oil; then install the new pipe by carefully tightening the fittings and inserting new gaskets. At the end of the installation, bleed the system through the bleed screw on the caliper, pumping on the brake pedal to release any air together with the old oil and continue to fill the brake oil reservoir with clean oil.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
