I finally got around to doing my brake fluid change this weekend. All in all, the job was pretty easy. Removing the wheels and getting the jetta up on jack stands took a good portion of my time. I understand that this may not be necessary, but I wanted to poke around and inspect everything. This was the first time I have done a fluid change. Its not really that hard (I did it!) and needs to be done every two years. My blow by blow of what was done is as follows: 1) Remove wheels and get car up on jack stands at all four corners. 2) Remove cap and sensor on fluid reservoir. 3) Use baster to remove fluid from reservoir. 4) Attach power bleeder to the fluid reservoir and pressurize it. (Do not exceed 14.5 psi! I went for about 10). Bleeding out the amber fluid (note the rust bits which I think came from the screw area as they were only present after opening it up). So that is it. I found I had to refill the reservoir after each bleed to keep the level where it needed to be. I also found that my rear brakes are toasted, but the fronts are fine. I am suspecting the emergency brake cable tension might be to blame. Any other ideas? Test driving proved the job successful. The brakes seem more responsive, but who knows how much of that assessment is just my mind telling me I did a good job.
