Brake/Clutch Fluid Change

Post by BosnianLanos »

Need help! ('99 Lanos 1.6L A/T Sedan)

I believe it is finally time to change my brake fluid. The manual says I have to do it every 18,000 miles and I went a bit over, something like 157, 000 miles over :shock:. That stuff is hyrdoabsorbant and in this South Florida weather I'm prolly running on mostly water. So, I need help, how do I change my brake fluid. It seems simple, is it or do I need to take it to a more qualified mechanic.

P.S. Yeah, I think I went over my Power Steering Fluid Interval too :wink: . I need help on changing this as well. This seems a little more complicated.

Has anyone done this on their Woo? Need help ASAP!

My posts make me sound like a dumba$$, trust me, I'm smarter than I sound :oops: .

well considering its a 1.6 you got ABS.. now i know in europe the 99 lanos had a delphi abs wich doesnt need to be hooked up the cars ecu to chaneg oil(as far as i cal recall).. other hand if you got a bosh ABS you will need to go to a woo dealer as the need to use there computer to make the ABS pump runnning to get the air out of it.

(deplhi is the one where the valves are in a row, rightside under the hood)
(bosh is usualy a cube)

so?? no one did mention the correct way to do that.

i once told my mechanic that i want to do this and he just took off the brakes oil resrvoir and washed it with water and let it dry then he installed it back and fill it with new fluid.

i know that this is like flushing just 75% of the system or so but i think if you need to get the whole system flushed you need to do a bleed procedure to let the new fluid replace the old one... i am not sure though how long you have to keep pumping out fluid at each wheel to make sure it got 100% fresh brakes fluid.

any better ideas??

what i posted there is the brake sections of the manual... they tell you the proper way to bleed the brakes.



in order to repalce all the fluid... follow the procedure for bleeding... but add your new fluid as the level drops (remember to keep the resevior atleast half full). you'll visibly see when the new fluid replaces the old, color, consistency, etc
