Vamos abordar a quest\u00e3o mais importante:Com que frequ\u00eancia se deve trocar o fluido de freio?<\/strong>\u200b
\u200bRegra geral<\/strong>: A maioria dos fabricantes de autom\u00f3veis, como a Honda e a Volkswagen, recomenda uma lavagem a cada2 a 3 anos<\/strong>ou30.000-45.000 milhas<\/strong>.
\u200bAs condi\u00e7\u00f5es de dire\u00e7\u00e3o s\u00e3o importantes<\/strong>: Se estiver rebocando cargas pesadas, correndo ou morar em uma \u00e1rea \u00famida (olhando para voc\u00eas, motoristas da Costa do Golfo), aumente esse valor paraa cada m\u00eas<\/strong>.
\u200bSinais de que est\u00e1 na hora<\/strong>L\u00edquido escuro e turvo (o normal \u00e9 claro\/\u00e2mbar claro).
APedal do freio afundando<\/strong>ou dist\u00e2ncias de parada mais longas.
Avisos de ABS\/ESP - isso pode significar corros\u00e3o no sistema.
\u200bDica profissional<\/strong>: Verifique o manual do propriet\u00e1rio. Por exemplo, os modelos Fusion\/MKZ 2013-2018 da Ford passaram por um recall da mangueira de freio devido a vazamentos - mantenha-se sempre proativo@ref.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
