Replacing Brake Fluid with a Vacuum Pump

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

Assemble the vacuum pumping system, open the bonnet, and disconnect the connector from the brake fluid reservoir. Now, using the vacuum pump, extract all the fluid present and replace it with new fluid. Remove the relevant wheel and disconnect the cap covering the bolt to open the brake fluid circuit. Connect the pump and extract the air present in the circuit. Once finished, while maintaining the vacuum in the circuit with the pump attached, screw the bolt to close the circuit. You can now refit the wheel and fill the reservoir that has emptied in the meantime. Repeat the same procedure for the other wheels.
