BMW X5 Brake Fluid Change - DIY Service

If your BMW is prompting you for a brake fluid service, this video will show you what’s involved if this is something you want to do yourself. BMW recommends replacing your brake fluid every two years. This is because most brake fluids are hydroscopic, which means they absorb water. Over time this can lead to corrosion in brake lines and in more extreme cases, cause reduced braking performance because water has a lower boiling point compared to brake fluid. This video will show you how to test the quality of your brake fluid and replace it using a brake bleeding kit. The equipment and parts needed are: • Brake fluid moisture detection pen (optional) • 1L Brake fluid – Genuine BMW DOT4 (Part Number: 83135A82511) • Brake bleeding kit • Turkey baster • Car jack • Axel stands (if you want to take all wheels off at once) • Lever and 17mm socket to take off the wheels • 11mm spanner to loosen the brake calliper bleed nipples • Towels to catch or wipe up any spilt brake fluid The Brake Fluid Moisture Detection Pen I used was from Amazon and cost £6.31: https://amzn.to/41crj0q The Brake bleeding kit was £32.99: https://amzn.to/4eSsANm Flare nut spanners might also provide better access: https://amzn.to/4iXIKrK Turkey baster if you don’t want to use the one from your kitchen! https://amzn.to/3Vc7McD If your brake valve dust caps have perished, genuine BMW replacement caps are part number: 34111163435.
