Hi Steve ... An update on the break issue got the car on the ramp this morning all ok, no leaks all pipes ok, changed the fluid wasn't the right texture, all good now ...
Glad it is sorted Rico. Scary to step down on that pedal and get a flat response. Flushing brake fluid is high on my maintenance list. I do mine at most every two years, sometimes every year. Once the additives break down in the fluid the entire system is more suspect to contamination and corrosion. Modern fluids today probably can last more years than just two, but it is too easy to just flush it and start fresh sooner.

Will do...I just came back from a 20 mile bicycle ride. I do 60 miles a week, but at the crack of dawn. Then temps are usually only 32*C when the sun is just rising.

Wow that is amazing Steve even at 32*c, I do ride a bike but not very often as my poor legs cant hack it anymore not to mention the rest of the body ... Lol
Hello friends, here is the change of the driver rating, after testing it works better, but I think one thing it is to stay for 1 month without rolling to connect to a maintenance battery charge, where all the lights are at maximum .
do you think that
little also come from the boot battery? since the service battery is replaced in December and startin batterie no
Are you asking, do you need to change your starter battery? I followed that you recently changed the main battery, and you can go one month without it being on the charger.
Please indicate what you are asking in regards to the photograph.
Hello,
I changed the electrical outlet as you told me, but I think I should have a lack of power. What is the function of the start up battery on the right side ? This is not a new one.

This dedicated battery on the right side is used to start the car. Perhaps change that battery. Usually when the main battery is bad the starter battery is not far behind. Using a maintenance charger on the starter battery is a good idea if the car is not driven frequently.
The left battery is an AGM battery, maintained accordingly to AGM standards. The main battery can be charged through the charge port in the trunk. Verify if your battery is AGM. Some have put a standard battery [incorrectly] in substitution of an AGM.
The right side starter battery is a standard lead acid flood battery. This battery will require a direct conection to a maintenance charger.

here are the pictures of the
battery and on the small pod there is a little oxidation.
Hello Yanacha,
I am not sure what problem you are having from your post. One comment though. The Bosch S4 is sized for an intermediate size car as it is too small for either side on a 2005 Bentley W12. I use Bosch and I have an S6 on the main side and an S5 for the starter battery.
