At North Penn Volkswagen, we understand the Volkswagen brake system and its maintenance requirements inside and out. Our team of factory-trained and certified technicians is ready to provide our customers with a much-needed brake fluid exchange to keep the brake system functioning at its best.
Brake fluid is an excellent hydraulic that resists compression and transfers force efficiently but it has one significant limitation – it readily absorbs moisture that does not serve as a good hydraulic fluid. When water-contaminated brake fluid heats up inside the brake system, the water will turn into steam that readily compresses.
Since brake fluid must transfer force for the brakes to function properly, contaminated brake fluid will wreak havoc on the brake system’s performance. Also of importance are brake fluid leaks; leaking brake fluid will wreak havoc on the brake system’s performance with similar symptoms as contaminated brake fluid. No matter if your vehicle has contaminated or leaking brake fluid, here are the most common symptoms of a brake fluid problem in need of corrective maintenance:
Brake system warning light
Squealing, screeching, squeaking, or grinding noise when brakes are active
Scraping, vibration, or wobbling when brakes are applied
Leaking brake fluid
The brake pedal has a soft, spongy, hard, or stiff feeling different than before
Vehicle needs more distance or time to stop effectively
At North Penn Volkswagen, our brake fluid exchange features factory-trained and certified technicians performing the service inside a state-of-the-art facility that installs factory authorized brake fluid according to factory specifications. As the brake system is drained and flushed, the expert technician will inspect the full brake system to verify its integrity before the fresh brake fluid is added. The overarching goal of the service is to restore the brake system to peak performance with maximum safety at factory specifications.
With the performance of the hydraulic brake system coming down to the condition of the hydraulic fluid within, it is an excellent judgment to keep the brake fluid at its best with routine brake fluid exchange that mitigates contamination or leaks before major problems can develop. When your Volkswagen is due for its next brake fluid exchange, we invite you to our Volkswagen service center in Colmar to receive a quality service that restores reliable performance and safety to your vehicle’s brake system.
