Buy Brake Fluid: Safe braking performance for your car

Your brake system will only work reliably with the right Brake Fluid At ecanis, you will find brake fluid in brand quality, tailored to your vehicle and your driving style.

This allows you to combine powerful braking performance with a relaxed shopping process and keep an eye on Brake Fluid and suitable accessories at all times.

Brake Fluid in the vehicle: function, service life and safety

The functionality of the Brake Fluid takes centre stage: it transfers the pressure from the brake pedal to the brake cylinders and ensures that your brakes react spontaneously and in a controlled manner. A compact definition is: technically specialised hydraulic fluid that transmits the braking force safely and evenly. The intended use ranges from daily city driving to long motorway journeys with high temperatures in the brake system. However, the water content in the fluid increases with increasing service life. This is precisely why it is important to have the Brake Fluid serviced regularly. If it becomes too old, there is a risk of vapour bubbles in the system, a longer braking distance and a noticeably softer pedal. To avoid this, you should adhere to the change intervals recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

More driving comfort if you have your Brake Fluid changed in good time

As soon as the Brake Fluid has aged significantly, the braking feel changes: The pedal becomes spongy, the braking distance longer and your confidence in the braking system decreases. If you ignore these signals, additional damage can occur, such as rust in the lines, cylinders and calipers. If you react early, you will benefit from fresh Brake Fluid, clean lines and a much more direct pedal feel. Whether you have the change carried out in a workshop or procure suitable parts and accessories yourself depends on your experience as a mechanic. In any case, a high-quality Brake Fluid that exactly matches your brake system and complements the entire maintenance process is worthwhile.

Repair or replace Brake Fluid

When is a Brake Fluid repair worthwhile?

Strictly speaking, Brake Fluid cannot be repaired; it is always replaced or topped up as part of a brake service. A targeted repair of the brake system makes sense if, for example, there is air in the system or a line has become leaky. In such cases, defective components are replaced, the system is flushed and then filled with new Brake Fluid. Careful installation and bleeding is crucial to ensure that no air pockets remain in the hydraulic system. If you do the screwing yourself, you can use special accessories such as bleeding devices and collection containers. In many cases, however, a service in a specialist workshop is the safer choice, especially if hoses, lines or saddles also need to be checked.

When is it better to change the Brake Fluid completely?

As soon as the Brake Fluid is heavily discoloured, has a high water content or becomes noticeable during an inspection, a complete change is the best decision. Only with fresh Brake Fluid can you restore the full safety level of your brake system. At ecanis, you can buy brand-quality Brake Fluid that matches the specification of your vehicle, including from manufacturers such as HELLA or VALEO. You can also select suitable seals, hoses or other brake components if the change is to be combined with a major repair. It is important that the replacement is carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions, that the correct specification is used and that the system is fully bled. If necessary, a specialist workshop will support you and carry out installation, filling and functional checks in one step.
