Brake fluid reservoir

[Rossy197]

Hi all...

This may sound daft but i recently changed the pads on my RS182 and i swear for the life of me i cant find the brank fluid reservoir !.. I've checked the book and it looks like its under the coolant bottle but i cant see it !.. Now im thinking its behind the material to which the coolant bottle is attached to but i dont know.. sorry for the Nooby question but any help would be great

Take the engine cover off, and it's on the top left of the engine bay.

Get a funnel ready unless you've got the steadiest hand in the world.

I was wondering this. I have seen mine tonight and it is low. The red stop light and hand brake light came on for a few seconds.

Low fluid usually means pads need changing.

Thank god for that..... i have just started an hour ago, we have no light and i need to get the piston pressed in! Thanks for the pics.... spent most of the light looking for the brake fluid, great pic!

Low fluid usually means pads need changing.

It was in for a service back in December and he said the pads had about a third of life left in them.

I have the exact same problem, cant find it. This was a really uselful theread cheers guys. What i dont understand is why in the picture in the renault manual they show the reservoir between the powersteering and rad water, when in reality its over the other side of the bay! cheers though, helped me out big time

Look at brake fluid reservoir, if fluid is between min and max jobs a good un.

Also low fluid usually means brake pads might be low.
