Brake lines, brake hoses
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Brake lines and brake hoses must be correctly routed and must not abut with body or components in a way which would cause chafing.
- To prevent damage, release and tighten brake line couplings with a special brake line wrench only.
- The system must be bled each time any brake lines have been detached.
- All connection points must be checked for leaks.
- Only tighten down brake hoses on the front axle when wheels are in straight-ahead driving position.
- Close open connections on brake lines and individual components to prevent dirt from entering the brake system.
- Observe tightening torques when tightening down brake line screw connections.
