VW Audi Brake Fluid Flush

🔧🔧 AMAZON STORE: www.amazon.com/shop/drewfixit 🔧🔧
In this video I demonstrate how to do a Total Brake Fluid Flush on a VW or AUDI Vehicle. This is not a complex procedure, so you should have no issues!
What you will see is that I step by step show you how to do this procedure safely with minimal tools on your own. In particular I have attempted to film all of the steps involved without avoiding the trickier elements of this task.
Consumables Used:
* 1L DOT 4 Brake Fluid
Tools Used:
* Power Bleeder Kit (amzn.to/38FlaAE)
* 11mm Spanner
* Syringe
* Funnel
Specifically in this video I am demonstrating this using my 2011 AUDI A3.
You too can do it yourself and save the cash!!

Brilliant no filler no bs just straight up advice

Great video. Clearly explained guide easy to understand. My audi a4 been yrs i accidentally let the fluid lvl get below the min line and lost clutch pedal pressure and cant get in gear. This guide helped on what steps i need to do as i have the same bleeder kit difference being i need to bleed from the clutch slave bleeder screw.

Greetings from Minnesota, USA. Nicely done with the video.

[@D1ARBO]

Thank you for the video, very helpful and clear!

[@joemoe1906]

Awesome video!!! Thank you so much!

[@DrewFixIt]

Thanks mate!! Cheers Drew

The correct bleed sequence for audi 8P models is FrontL FR then BackL BR. Otherwise great vid, well presented!

[@ItsBigJC]

What sequence would it be on an Audi a6 c7 2014 mate ? I assume the same?

[@boostedadrenaline2884]

It's best if you've replaced the brake master for true abs pump bleeding. Otherwise, this method in the video is perfect

[@bruceharkness4497]

Bleeding air is different than just exchanging fluid.

[@martinbowyer5749]

The bleeding sequence depends on what side the master cylinder is. So left hand and right hand drive vehicles may differ😊

[@andydelassus2734]

Great video! Was there any noticeable improvement in brake performance, or was this strictly preventative?

[@DrewFixIt]

Hi Andy, when I did this to the Audi it was purely preventative and I can't say that I noticed anything from a performance perspective, however pretty much this is my wifes car so I don't drive it much. When I did the equivalent on my Mercedes, which is my daily driver, I did notice a significant improvement in the braking performance, which I was personally actually surprised by so in my mind it just reinforces the need to keep up with this periodic maintenance! Cheers Drew

Thanks for this great video! Did you need to purge air from the hose of the pressure vessel so as not to introduce any air into the master cylinder? Approximately how much new fluid did you end up adding in total to do your flush? I've got my first ever track day coming up in a couple of months, so I'll be upgrading my brake fluid (higher boiling point Motul RBF 600 or 660) soon, along with new pads, rotors, and ss brake lines. I'm assuming it'll be a little over 1L in my case, since I want to ensure that all of the old fluid is replaced. I've got a 2010 4.2L 6MT Audi S5 btw

[@DrewFixIt]

Hi Mate, yes I do purge the air in the bleeder and from memory I think I used three or four bottles of fluid. Cheers Drew

[@synaptik111]

Thanks @@DrewFixIt! I've only got 1.5L atm (3x500ml) so I'll get some more so I can do my clutch slave cylinder too.

I swear I did’t flush-bleed my Audi TTQ mk1 for almost 20 years and 15 years on R53 you will not believe it 😅, yeah this is crazy me,why I don’t realize this, luckily your vid got on me now ! Thanks I’m gonna do this soon before it’s late ! 👍

[@DrewFixIt]

Hi Noel, thanks for your comment. I think you will find a significant increase in braking performance, however let us know how you go! Cheers Drew

[@noel5ilv3rlake]

@@DrewFixIt I just ordered the bleeder kit plus 4L of ATE dot 4 SL6, maybe it’s just enough for 2 older cars that I will flush next week first then I will also change the brake fluid on another 2016 audi, actually there are 3 cars in the garage, yeah I will let you know if I successfully DIY them ! You know I’m still wondering because I didn’t realize this ! btw thanks again your method is simple nice 👍

[@justinfufun5483]

Neither did I 17 years but the fluid was a lot cleaner than the muck that came out of that car. One careful owner 120k kms. 6 pot Brembos. Bleeders on both sides of each of the calipers. Probably should have done it sooner... or looked in the book. I think if you live in a warm climate or have long hills with prolonged braking it would be critical as brake fluid is hydrascopic and the water can boil out. Dangerous.

[@noel5ilv3rlake]

@@justinfufun5483 Hi, got this done 5 month’s ago so both of them are doing well I mean better in performance especially I realized on TTQ and R53, it’s pretty quick response acceleration and cornering, I said night and day lol ..before and after ! I had prob with TT wit G14 sensor / brake 2 but now is going normally well or it has been cured without replacing the sensor itself I noticed a bit weird response especially on winter with R53 but now it’s working fine on snow too ! I glad - I spent 6 cans of ATE to 3 cars for bleeding and probably I will do it again in the next couple months soon so to be safe !

[@Crapmostang]

I don't understand why you don't get all the brake fluid out first? because you only took out the liquid with the syringe. but he stayed on the hose. after you put new liquid and applied pressure. why didn't you apply pressure to get all the fluid out and then put in the new one?

[@dixitimi]

Where did you buy the pump and what is the quality like?

[@DrewFixIt]

Hi Mate, this is where I purchased the pump: amzn.to/38FlaAE it has been very food for me. Cheers Drew

[@ceresaroundtheworld7622]

Is this method the same for a 2019 Q3?

[@DrewFixIt]

Yes mate. Cheers Drew

[@DM43685]

I'm confused??? If you have the pressure tank on, wont you pressure the new fluid into the bleed bottle and waste it???

[@tylerk7009]

That’s the point of bleeding the brake line. When he says for the fluid to come clear, that means the fresh brake fluid has pushed the old brake fluid out of the line. There is inherent loss. But is minimal as long as you are paying attention.
