If line connections on the hydraulic unit or the hydraulic lines remain open for an extended period of time (e.g. storage, maintenance time), they must be protected against the penetration of moisture and dirt particles. Proceed as described below in this respect.

The new method can even be used on older systems.

Screw plugs and cap nuts are included in the "Banjo bolts for hydraulic unit" kit.

Sealing caps, sealing plugs and screw plugs are included in the "Hydraulic repair kit" (all sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service).
