Brake fluid test due

[IH1]

Hello

In my service book it says my brake fluid test is due on 8th March, but my computer says it's due in 25 days? Which one do I go by?

Thanks

Go by the computer. The March date will be a guess whereas the computer adjusts the date according to driving style etc

Never heard that one KP! Its true for the mileage between services but for brake fluid its a day count down from when the computer was set. More than likely it was set at factory as its purely a timer so will be the difference between build date and when the dealer filled in the documents.

And its a brake fluid change as its only recommend to be used for 2 years before a change.

So go by the number of days on the computer?
