Checking the level and topping up the brake fluid BMW X5 F15 3.0D 2013

Parts and consumables:

• Brake fluid (DOT-4 type)
• rags

Notes:

The brake fluid reservoir is located in the rear of the engine compartment behind a plastic casing, on the left in the direction of the vehicle.

Location of the brake fluid reservoir.

1. To check and top up the brake fluid, open the hood.

2. We take the seal to the side, wring out the fixing clip of the plastic casing, and remove the casing.

3.  To add liquid to the reservoir, turn the reservoir cap counterclockwise and remove the cap from the reservoir.

4.  MIN and MAX marks are made on the tank, between which the level of the working fluid must be.

Note:

Do not allow the liquid level to drop below the MIN mark.

5.  Add DOT-4 liquid to the tank up to the MAX mark.

WARNING:

Fluid that comes into contact with the paintwork, plastic parts and vehicle wiring can cause damage. Wipe it off immediately with a clean cloth.

6.  Install the tank cover in place.

7. Reassemble all removed parts in reverse order of removal.

USEFUL TIPS:

If the level of the working fluid in the tank is constantly decreasing, then there is most likely a leak in the system. In this case, it is necessary to check the tightness of the hydraulic drives of the brake system, and eliminate the malfunction.​
