Empty Container?

Post by JOeJOe »

Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question, I don't know much about cars.

I have a GPX, there is a plastic container on the top left corner of the engine bay, can anyone tell me what goes in there? It's all in japanese.

It's coming down to the minimum level.

Cheers
Joe

Left as in Driver side? If so, thats your brake oil mate. If its the other "left" then its your water reserve for your radiator.

Cheers guys.

one last question, do I need to flush the old FLUID out before I put in the new batch or do I just mix the new with the old?

Yep flush it first, because the old one might have water in it. You won't see it because its blend in.

The whole idea behind brake fluid flush is that so you can get rid of the old fluid that holds water, which causes boiling point to go down,
Flush is recommended.
