Adding Brake fluid
Asked by vanhelsing Aug 08, 2013 at 05:38 PM about the 2006 Ford Freestar Limited
Question type: General
The brake fluid reservoir is way back under the wiper cowl. Has anyone come up with an easy way to fill the reservoir without removing said cowl?

Buy a funnel with a flex tube on it... I hope that makes it easy to do...
Such a HORRIBLE design. And most jiffy lube places won't touch brake fluid or top it off at all. they always come up with the bullshit story saying that if it's low then you have leaky calipers LOL, not true at all in many cases. My van has simply sat for about five years because my father-in-law can no longer drive and gave me the van and the brake fluid is just a little low because it's been sitting for so many years but it certainly doesn't have any leaks at least nothing major maybe a drip every few months over 5 years or it could have even evaporated a little bit for all I know but the brakes are fine they're just a tiny bit spongy because of the fluid levels being a little bit low but this placement is ridiculous.
