The Importance of Brake Fluid in Your Volkswagen Crafter
Maintaining your braking system is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of your Volkswagen Crafter. An essential component of this system is the brake fluid, which plays a vital role in the brake hydraulics. Brake fluid is responsible for transferring the force created by your foot on the brake pedal to the brake pads, which in turn, stop the wheels. Over time, brake fluid can degrade or become contaminated, leading to reduced braking performance or even brake failure.
Choosing the Right Brake Fluid for Your Volkswagen Crafter
When it comes to selecting the right brake fluid for your Volkswagen Crafter, it's important to choose one that meets the specifications recommended by Volkswagen. The brake fluid must have the correct viscosity and boiling point to operate effectively within the Crafter's brake hydraulics system. Using the wrong type of fluid can result in damage to the system and compromised safety.
When to Replace Your Crafter's Brake Fluid
Brake fluid should be replaced according to the maintenance schedule provided by Volkswagen for your Crafter. However, if you notice any changes in braking performance, such as a spongy brake pedal or longer stopping distances, it may be time to check your brake fluid. Regular checks and changes will ensure that your brake hydraulics system functions at its best.
Ensuring Quality and Compatibility
It is essential to use high-quality brake fluid that is compatible with your Volkswagen Crafter to maintain optimal braking performance. Inferior quality fluids can lead to corrosion and damage to the brake system components. Always check the owner's manual or consult with a professional to ensure you are using the correct brake fluid for your vehicle.

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.
In this range, you will find an extensive selection of hydraulic fluid, including DOT 4 brake fluid, all available in different quantities, so you can be sure your car is always running to its full potential.
