Used Isopropyl Alcohol (Shoppers Drug Mart) instead of Denatured Alcohol.


And top up brake fluid. Maybe leaking. Need to investigate.

Brake Fluid Replacement

Mileage: 94,000 KM

Required tools: pressure bleeder pump, 11mm combination wrench

1. Place car on ramp and applied hand brake.

2. Extract brake fluid from reservoir as much as possible upto the bottom of strainer.

3. Bleed 100ml from clutch slave cylinder at 15 psi and close it and release pressure from pump
and apply clutch around 5 times fast enough and check if clutch is working properly.
If pedal stays at lower position making less travel distance, pull it back to upper normal
position by hand. Tried to maintain 15 psi while bleeding by bleeding slowly for laminar flow.

4. Close cap of the pump and pressurize the pump to 15 psi.

5. Bled brake calipers at 15psi in the following order.

Rear/Right (250ml)
Rear/Left (250ml)
Front/Right (250ml)
Front/Left (250ml)

6. Check brake function. If OK, reliefe pressure from pump and check fluid level.
