Do Not Sell My Personal Information Jump to content


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone 

I just bought a Lexus Is220d and I find out that the brakes soft/low but work fine when I apply brake but I’m still concern.  My local garage check all pads/disc everything ok also the car pass brake check .

I will appreciate any information about this issue.

Thank you.

Old brake fluid won't really affect the feel of the brakes - it's still not compressible (unless it boils because there's too much water in it, then you get more or less total brake failure).

Lexus specify that brake fluid should be changed every 3 years/36K miles - many manufacturers specify every two years. Garages (maybe even dealers) often don't bother.

Soft feeling brakes could be due to air in the lines - did the local garage bleed the brakes? Do they harden up substantially with an extra pump on the brake pedal - that's a good sign of air.
