Where is the Brake Fluid Reservoir in the Volkswagen Transporter Van?

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T4, MK 4 - Years 1990-2003
Part: Brake system

In this video, we can see where the brake fluid reservoir is located in the Volkswagen Transporter T4 van. As shown, it is positioned inside the engine bay, right in front of the bulkhead on the passenger side. The reservoir is also easily identifiable by the yellow cap with the brake system icon printed on it. To check the fluid level, simply open the cap and ensure it remains just below the "MAX" mark on the right side. If topping up is necessary, avoid any spillage and wear gloves.
