dundee_stokie Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi, my missus has a Ford KA and the handbrake light keeps flickering on every now and then, I think this means low BRAKE FLUID. Anyway, I said "oh, its going in for a service next week, so they will sort it out". And so it got its full service & MOT and the brake light still flickers on and off. Should this have been taken care of by the garage ? Is brake fluid monitored on a service ?? Also, the tick over is slightly juddering at traffic lights and static positions, hmmm I'm starting to wonder if they even lifted the bonnet !

delboy Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 brake fluid shoud be replaced avery 2-3 yrs. this should have been checked in the service schedule. the running of the engine is not done from what i recall as that got to be put on a computer & they charge extra for that. check your service guide on what milage you have done since it's last service & the milage ior age for the type of service interm service wont have the brake fluid changed only on a full servie depending when the brake fluid was done last. if it's never been done since you had the car i would get it done & tell them about the idle aswell but get a price 1st as they maywell charge you £40+ for the diagnostics check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 a good garage would check the level and the boil temp of the fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
