Rigid brake pipe: Repair

a
aShape the pipe using a bender, curve after curve,
while respecting the original shape of the pipe.
128814
WARNING
To avoid weakening the pipe, either bend once or
bend progressively by increasing the bend (that
is, by continually decreasing the curve radius).
Do not install a rigid pipe on a vehicle that may
have been bended and then unbended alterna-
tively to reach the correct curve radius.
Note:
During the bending operation, the required angle
should be passed slightly in order to compensate
for material elasticity.

V - CHECKING BENDING
aCheck the out-of-roundness of the outer diameter at
the centre of the curve radius (2) using a sliding cal-
liper (the out-of-roundness of the outer diameter is
correct if it is less than 10% flattening):
-nominal diameter of the pipe: 4.75 mm,
-minimum diameter after bending: 4.30 mm.VI - REFITTING THE PIPE
a
aTorque tighten the brake pipe bolts (8 N.m).
aTorque tighten the underbody unions (female/
male) (6 N.m).

Note:
When refitting the rigid brake pipe:
-respect the original routing as much as possi-
ble,
-adjust the pipe routing by hand when fitting
inside the clips.
WARNING
Contact points between the rigid brake pipe and
the surrounding components could cause dam-
age to the pipe. In order to avoid these contacts,
adjust the pipe routing by hand.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Brake fluid: Specifications
30A
BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT INTERVAL
Our braking technology, and in particular the disc
brakes (hollow pistons which conduct little heat, have a
low volume of fluid in the cylinder, sliding callipers
avoiding the need for a fluid reserve in the least cooled
area of the wheel), has allowed us to prevent the risk of
« vapour lock » as far as possible, even with heavy
braking (mountainous area). However, current brake
fluids are subject to minor deterioration during the first
months of use due to slight humidity intake. This is why
it is recommended that you change the brake fluid: see
maintenance booklet for the vehicle.
1 - Topping up the level
Wear of the brake pads will result in a gradual drop in
the fluid level in the reservoir.
Do not top up the fluid, as the level will rise again when
the pads are next changed. The brake fluid level must
not fall below the minimum mark.
2 - Approved brake fluid
Mixing two incompatible brake fluids in the brake circuit
may lead to:
-serious risk of leakage due mainly to deterioration of
the cups,
-deterioration in the operation of the ESP system.
To prevent such risks, it is essential to use only brake
fluids that comply with the RENAULT standard (see
Vehicle: Parts and consumables for the repair) .

WHEELS AND TYRES
Wheel: Balancing
35A
aEnter the specific wheel parameters when starting
the wheel balancer.
aStart the wheel balancer and check the wheel bal-
ance, which should be 0 g on each plane of the
wheel.
aIf this is not the case, remove the old wheel balanc-
ing weights and repeat the wheel balancing proce-
dure, checking that the wheel balance equals 0 on
each wheel plane.
IV - FINAL OPERATION
aRefit the wheel (see 35A, Wheels and tyres,
Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) . WARNING
To avoid detachment of the balance weights, use
only weights which correspond to the vehicle
wheel rims.

Note:
If only the pad is being replaced, allow the pedal
to cool.
Note:
The bonding area must be clean, and free from
finger marks and fabric deposits.
