What components are typically inspected during a brake system check? List at least three.

 

Back

1.        Brake Lines: To check for any leaks, dents, or kinks that could affect hydraulic pressure.

2.        Master Cylinder: To ensure it is functioning properly and not leaking fluid.

3. 3.Brake Pads and Rotors: To assess wear and ensure they are in good condition for effective braking

What are the consequences of using the wrong type of brake fluid in a vehicle?

Back

Using the wrong type of brake fluid can lead to several serious consequences. Different types of brake fluids have varying boiling points, and using a fluid with a lower boiling point can cause brake fluid to vaporize under high temperatures, leading to brake failure. Additionally, incompatible fluids can cause damage to rubber seals and components within the brake system, leading to leaks and decreased performance.

Ultimately, using the wrong fluid can compromise vehicle safety and lead to costly repairs.
