The brake fluid plays an important role in the functioning of the brake system. A small leakage of this fluid will lead to squishy brake pedal, illuminated warning lights, puddled brake fluid and there is even delay in the halt. See this slideshow to know about the ways to diagnose the brake fluid leaks in your Audi.

1. Way to Diagnose the
Brake Fluid Leaks
in your Audi

2. Brakes are an important
component of the car,
you need to ensure that
the brake system is in
good condition for
keeping it safe and
enhancing its lifespan.

3. The braking system of
the Audi is failed due to
several reasons and the
common among them
are the malfunctioned
brake fluid leak.

4. The brake system of the
Audi is generally made up
of four parts such as the
brake lines, brake master
cylinders, front brake
calipers, and the rear brake
calipers.

5. When you found a
puddle of brake fluid on
the ground, then make
sure that the brake
calipers of the car are
leaking oil.

6. The following points
help you to diagnose
the brake fluid leaks in
your Audi smoothly and
more precisely.

7. Squishy brake
pedal

8. When you push down the
brake pedal to slow down
or stop the car, if you feel
mushy, spongy, soft or
squishy brake pedal, then
the air getting trapped in
the brake lines.

9. To function properly, the
brake lines need a proper
amount of full brake fluid.
Due to the leaks, the brake
fluid is low and the air enters
the brake lines and causes
stopping issues.

10. Illuminated warning
lights

11. When the braking
system of your Audi has
any problem, you will
notice that the warning
lights are turned on in
the instrument cluster.

12. Through the brake
related warning lights
are illuminated on the
dashboard you will
conclude that the brake
fluids are leaking.

13. Downward brake
pedal

14. When the brake pedal
of the Audi is soft or
squishy, you will find
severe leaks of brake
fluid or problems in the
brake master cylinder.

15. It clearly indicates that
your Audi doesn't have
enough brake fluid in
the lines. So, in these
cases slowly apply the
emergency brakes by
downshifting the gears.

16. Puddled brake fluid

17. The brake fluids are
generally light yellow
color, but over time it
can be gradually
converted into dark
color.

18. If you found that the
brake fluid reservoir of
the Audi is not full, then
you will notice that the
fluid is leaking and
produce a rancid smell
like fish oil.

19. Delay to
halt

20. The poor braking
performance of the car can
be attributed to several
issues in different parts
such as brake pads,
calipers, and rotors due to
brake fluid leaks.

21. If you notice that your car
will take too much time to
stop, then first check the
brake fluid reservoir. If the
reservoir is not full, then
inspect the car for
leakages.

22. Final words

23. The nonfunctional
brakes are the most
serious problems in the
car as well as literally
create some life-
threatening situations
on the road.

24. Until you are not
checking and fixing the
brake fluid leaking of
the Audi, then don't
drive the car in any of
the circumstances.
