How to change Brake fluid on Kodiaq Mk1

Featured Replies

Hi,

I had envisioned to write a full 'How to' Guide, but everything is exactly the same as for my ex Superb Estate Mk3 :

Same 11mm bleed screws, whose tightening torque is 10 N.m

Same fluide quantities : 0.3l for rear calipers / 0.2l for front calipers (add 0.15l if manual gear box).

Same bleed sequence : 1st Rear Right caliper, 2nd Rear Left one, 3rd Front right one and 4th Front left one.

Removing the wheels takes some additional time, but make it a lot easier, especially on the rear calipers, whose access to the bleed screw is not that easy due to EPB motors.

I took me 2:15 hours, but one of my neighbours (a Superb Mk2 onwer) wanted to see the operating process. This was an opportunity to chat with him during this maintenance operation, since he was formerly an AWACS and B-777 pilot. I think this operation requires 1:30 hour (without hurrying too much).

@moderators : I know duplicating a topic is 'banned'. I hope referring to another post is fine nevertheless. Otherwise, feel free to delete. )

I hope this helps.
