    Default Change Brake Fluid

    hey guys

    the brake light came on in the dash - previously this came on when a taillight was out, but in another thread someone says its because my brake fluid could be low.

    i haven't noticed any difference in the brakes, however i sure as hell don't want to.

    unfortunately i have no experience changing the brake fluid - is it something i can do myself, or something i should leave for the mechanic in the next service (prob 1.5 weeks and 1000km away, unless really urgent)

    the light is the (!) in red on the right of the Calais dash.

    I seriously haven't had time to check the fluid, but its ok its goin to the shop tomorrow anyway - the time for service was upon me anyway. 15,000km since the last one.

    the (!) light does mean brake problem- low fluid, look in your owners manual

    Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
