:: ECS Tuning :: How To Change Your Cars Brake Fluid
Porsche brakes should be flushed and bled every two years, starting from the date the vehicle was built. For race cars, it may be necessary to bleed the brakes before each track event or, if the pedal becomes soft during an event, to bleed between sessions.
For many owners this is an often overlooked part of car maintenance. Fresh brake fluid has a significantly higher boiling point than old fluid, allowing harder braking without fade. Frequent bleeding with fresh fluid allows brake components to last longer. A well maintained brake system can help you avoid ever having to replace calipers, master cylinder or an expensive ABS control unit. The bleeding process, done properly, removes air bubbles from the hydraulic system, resulting in firmer brake pedal feel and more linear, responsive braking performance. Too much air in the system can be dangerous and result in the pedal sinking to the floor.
Over the years we've had many customers ask "hey how hard is it to change my brake fluid". To help keep things 'easy' we put together a little DIY to aid you in your next brake fluid change.

Remember brakes should be flushed and bled every two years, starting from the date the vehicle was built. This is a great time to get this detail done before spring.

I have one - works great! It gave me the perfect excuse to buy one when fitting your brake lines...
How do you like the brake lines so far ?

Can't tell a huge difference on the initial (and usually only) push on the pedal just driving around. It does on the second push, say after accelerating after a short switchback. I think my Porterfield pads are also a bit street-unfriendly. It takes a few feet for them to really grab hard.
Do the pads then work better after they get warmed up a bit then ? Glad you liked the brake lines, if your ever looking for something for the Cayenne or BMW you can't find feel free to PM us with any questions or concerns and we will gladly help out.
