Brake fluid tester can be paid in the following ways:

• What is the purpose of the BST01 brake fluid tester?

  The BST01 tester is designed to measure the water content in brake fluid. This is essential because brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point, can lead to vapor formation in the system, reduces braking efficiency, and causes corrosion of metal components.

• How do I use the brake fluid tester?

  Using the tester is very simple: immerse its contacts into the brake fluid reservoir. The electronic tester will measure the water content and display the result on its indicators.

• Why does brake fluid absorb water?

  Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it naturally absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. On average, a brake system can accumulate between 2% to 5% water over two years of use.

• What problems are caused by water in brake fluid?

  High water content reduces the brake fluid's boiling point, which can cause vaporization under heavy braking. Vapor is compressible, leading to a 'spongy' brake pedal feel and poor brake modulation. Water also causes corrosion of metal brake components (like caliper pistons), which can lead to sticking or seizure.

• How should I care for the BST01 tester after use?

  After use, dry the tester's contacts thoroughly. If brake fluid gets on the plastic housing, rinse it with water. Do not store the device with fluid residue on the contacts, as it is an aggressive medium. If fluid spills on your car's paint, rinse it off immediately with water.

• What type of power does the brake fluid tester require?

  The BST01 tester operates on one AAA battery. The battery is not included in the package.

• How often should I check my brake fluid?

  It is recommended to check the condition of your brake fluid regularly, at least once a year or before long trips. Checking is especially important in high-humidity environments and for vehicles subjected to intensive use.

• What are the benefits of using the BST01 tester?

  Using the BST01 tester allows you to: 1) Timely detect high water content and prevent fluid boiling. 2) Avoid costly brake system repairs due to corrosion. 3) Monitor the system's condition yourself, saving on service diagnostics. 4) Maintain precise and safe brake performance.

• What is the price of the BST01 brake fluid tester?

  The price of the professional BST01 electronic brake fluid tester is 14.00 EUR.

• What is the product code for the brake fluid tester?

  The product code for the BST01 electronic brake fluid tester is BST01.
