Brake Fluid Replacement Instructions

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Brake pads

Firstly, it can be useful to periodically replace the brake fluid, which over time, due to thermal cycles, may deteriorate. Obtain a vacuum pump to extract the fluid first from the reservoir and then from the braking system through the appropriate bleed screws located at the brake calipers. Once the reservoir is emptied, fill it with new fluid and connect the vacuum pump to the bleed screw on one of the brake calipers. Open the bleed screw and wait for clean fluid to flow out; repeat the same operation on all four wheels, continuing to fill the reservoir with new fluid.
