lolumz34 Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 My dad has a 91 Euro. He just called. Said that there is smoke comming from the rear drivers side of the car at the wheel. He says that the rim is so hot that you can't touch it. Says that there is no noise that it not normal comming from the car, but this just started today. If any of you have any ideas, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slade901 Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Manufacturer recommends replacing the brake fluid around 24 months or so to prevent moisture build up and rust in the brake system and seize calipers, etc. Moisture decreases the boiling point of the brake fluid.

91GranSport Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Man, I've had my car for 3 years and put 40,000km+ on it and never replaced the brake fluid yet. Damn, I guess I should do that soon, eh? I'm still a little unsure about how to bleed brakes.
