Flushing brake system

sickxr · 08-09-2006, 08:45 AM

I was after some instructions on how to flush my break fluid. I found a pretty good doco on the PBR website http://www.pbrperformance.com.au/doc...System_000.pdf
and wondered if there was any other steps/pointers that people could point out? Do any other steps need to be taken because of the ABS?

Thanks

If you're on Bris northside there is a crew at Lawnton that have a special on brake fluid flush/replace @ $20.

I thought I'd bookmarked them but I can't find it.

I'm about to get busy but I'll have a search later and get back to you.

Im going to be replacing the pads at the same time so i would rather do it myself, thanks tho.

Found some topics on Fordmods, they say that its no different having ABS.

yeah, fair enough.

For future ref the name of the company is Aussie Automotive Services.

They have a website with a "specials" section but I'm damned if I can find it.

Good luck with it... it can be a messy job.

Crap is that a full flush and replace?

Wo are they? and do they use quality fluid or el cheapo?

yes full flush/replace. I had my car done a couple of months ago.

As above, they are Aussie Automotive Services at Lawnton.

My guess would be that they use a brake fluid that meets the appropriate standard for my vehicle. So far, so good... the brakes still work ;)

I got the info off their website. It used to be aussieautomotiveservices.com which now goes nowhere.

However, aussieautomotiveservices.com.au goes to a work in progress page.

I guess you could always call them and ask if the special is still available.
