If damage to any part is detected during work on the brake system, the malfunction must be eliminated before the vehicle is put into operation.
Brake fluid has a very strong corrosive property. Carefully remove it from vehicle surfaces.
Keep an eye on the brake fluid level in the reservoir and in the bleeder.
Make sure the bleeder pressure is between 1.5-2 bar.
Use covers to protect parts of the body that may be exposed to brake fluid.
Install plugs at the ends of the pipelines and all openings of the disconnected components of the brake system.
Keep friction surfaces away from grease, oil, other lubricants or mineral oil based cleaners.
When replacing the brake pads, the pads on the opposite side must also be replaced.
When replacing the brake disc, be sure to also replace the brake disc on the opposite side.
When replacing brake discs, be sure to replace the brake pads.
Do not subject the brake hose to stress, do not twist it, make sure that it does not come into contact with surrounding parts.
To prevent malfunctions, return the pistons, brake pads and brake discs to the normal operating position by repeatedly depressing the brake pedal.
Replace hard brake pipe holders.
Connection of pipelines between the main brake cylinder, calipers and hydraulic unit is carried out by means of threaded fittings with metric threads. Therefore, only those parts that are listed in the spare parts catalog for a specific vehicle may be used.
When bleeding the brake system, the following precautions must be observed:
- use only brake fluid certified by Renault;
- check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and in the air bleeder;
- there must be no hydraulic or electrical faults in the brake pressure control circuit.
Note. Use only fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
