from internal parts) but also from external sources such as
moisture and condensation. Condensation in the system
accumulates about 1 to 2 percent per year. Brake fade
(reduction in stopping power) can occur when you have as
little as 3 percent of water in your system. Water in the
system not only leads to brake fade, it also corrodes internal
components and can cause brake failure and costly repairs.
Replacing your ABS anti-lock braking system because of
corrosion due to water can easily cost $1,500 to $2,000.

ZAK premium brake fluid and
supplies it to the vehicle's
reservoir. While this is taking
place, a technician removes the
vacuum hose from the machine
and vacuums the old fluid out of
the brake system through the
wheel cylinder bleed valve. The
exchange is complete when the
fluid being extracted from the
bleed valves runs clear.
