How to Top Up Brake Fluid in a Ford Puma
The Ford Puma, manufactured from 1997 to 2001, is a compact sports coupe available in Europe. While the Puma never officially made it to the US, the car shared much of its technology, including the Zetec engine, with many US-branded Ford vehicles. The Puma uses DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid as its sole brake system fluid. This fluid, like many other brake fluids, is non-compressable and has a high resistance to attracting moisture. The brake fluid is filled through a reservoir mounted on top of the brake master cylinder.
Instructions
- 1
Turn off the engine and pop open the Pumas hood. Support the hood with the hood prop stick.
2Locate the brake fluid reservoir on top of the master cylinder. It is made from white plastic and sits on the master cylinder that protrudes from the right rear section of the engine firewall.
3Clean any dust, debris and dirt off of the reservoir cap with a clean shop rag. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise and set the cap aside.
4Pour brake fluid into the reservoir until the level becomes even with the MAX mark imprinted on the left side of the reservoir.
5Replace the cap, clean up any spilled brake fluid, and close the hood.
