Brake Fluid General Information
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Only use new brake fluid conforming to VW standard (VW 501 14).
Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to its caustic nature, it must also never be brought into contact with paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. For this reason, always store in air-tight containers.
Rinse any spilled brake fluid with plenty of water.
