Understanding Brake Fluid for Your Skoda Scala
Maintaining the braking system of your Skoda Scala is crucial for ensuring your safety on the road. The brake fluid is a vital component of the brake hydraulics system, which is responsible for the smooth and effective operation of your car's brakes. Over time, brake fluid can degrade or become contaminated, which can lead to reduced braking performance or even brake failure.
The Role of Brake Fluid in Brake Hydraulics
Brake fluid operates within the brake hydraulics of your Skoda Scala, transferring the force from your foot on the brake pedal to the brake pads and discs. This hydraulic fluid must withstand high temperatures and pressure without boiling or compressing, which is why it's essential to use the correct type of brake fluid and to change it at the intervals recommended by Skoda.
Choosing the Right Brake Fluid for Your Skoda Scala
There are several types of brake fluid, including DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1, each with different boiling points and properties. It's important to consult your Skoda Scala's owner's manual to determine the specific type of brake fluid recommended for your vehicle. Using the wrong type can compromise the efficiency of your braking system or cause damage to the components.
When to Replace Brake Fluid in Your Skoda Scala
Brake fluid should be replaced according to the schedule outlined in your vehicle's service manual. However, if you notice any changes in braking performance, such as a spongy brake pedal or a longer stopping distance, it may be time to check your brake fluid. Regular checks and maintenance of your Skoda Scala's brake fluid can prevent more serious issues with your braking system.

What is Brake Fluid?
Brake fluid is essential for keeping your braking system moving seamlessly. This fluid works under high temperatures and pressure, converting the force exerted into pressure to keep your brakes working to their optimum performance level. It is sold in liquid form as these are not compressible, so they will last you longer. Your brake fluid will deteriorate over time, so you must change it every 2 years to ensure your brakes are functioning effectively. We can show you how to bleed your brakes with our easy-to-follow guide.
