Description
Hi all,
I have been putting this off for the longest time but I finally got around to doing a brake fluid flush and change on the title Fortwo.
The brakes were feeling very spongy and not that efficient under pressure seemingly taking a long time to stop.
Upon looking in the Brake Fluid reservoir the fluid was Orange and I did see some dirt in there.. that would explain it a little.
This is the way I change my brake fluid, only attempt if you are a competent person and have all the tools you need.
If unsure, always consult a mechanic/shop.
In Amazon the Bosch Brake fluid is now showing as NOT suitable for a Smart 453, but I checked with a friend and it is more than adequate. Please take this under advisement and decide which product you wish to use
The whole process took about an hour and a half.. but I didn’t need anyone else there thanks to the non return valve tool.
