    Brake fluid empty

    The MFD briefly flashed up a message to say brake fluid was low but disappeared again very quickly. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it is completely empty. Van is driving fine, the clutch has juddered on reverse for the two years we have owned it. No noticeable difference to the brakes...

    T5.1 Brake fluid reservoir refill issue

    Hi all, The brake fluid in my van is about a quarter of an inch below minimum. Went to top it up with more fluid but the fluid won't flow in. It's as if the reservoir funnel at the cap is blocked. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Thanks

    In the not too distant future, I intend to replace my rear disks and pads,Brembo. While I'm at it I will also replace the brake fluid. Is the sequence for bleeding, rear offside, rear nearside, front offside and front nearside? I'm just going off the position of the abs not the cylinder. Thanks...

    Removing callipers and brake bleeding

    Morning all I have some outlandish black paint for my callipers which I plan to apply whilst I have the shocks out. To make my life easier I’d like to remove the callipers, (I have a brake pipe clamp to reduce air ingress). How easy is it to bleed the T6? Should I worry about air into the ABS -...

    Hi all, I appear to have a slight leak from my brake fluid reservoir. The fluid appears to be leaking from around the cap so it’s looking like I’m going to need a new one. Any ideas where I can pick one up from? Cheers O
