Brake Fluid Replacement Instructions

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Brake pads

Bleeding the braking system removes any air bubbles present in the system. The bleeding operation is very simple and does not require special equipment: you can perform it by simply pumping the brake pedal while keeping the respective bleed screws open (one at a time), ensuring that the reservoir is always filled with clean fluid. Alternatively, you can use a manual pump connected to the brake fluid reservoir, which can maintain pressure in the system and introduce clean fluid during the bleeding phase; connect the bleed screw to a tube to collect the fluid in a bottle and open the screw. Repeat the operation on all four wheels.
