Porsche 968 - Fluid Reservoirs; Brake Fluid Reservoir Check; Washer System Reservoir Capacity

Brake Fluid Reservoir
The fluid reservoir for the hydraulic brake and
clutch operating systems is in the engine com-
partment. Do not allow the vent bore in the
screw cap to become clogged. The fluid level in
the transparent container should be between the
"MIN" and "MAX" marks.
On right-hand drive vehicles there is a separate
reservoir for the clutch operating system on the
right-hand side of the engine compartment.

Some dropping of the fluid level occurs, when
driving, due to wear and automatic adjustment
of the disc brake pads. This is quite normal.
Should the fluid level drop appreciably, the brake
fluid warning light comes on.
Do not hesistate to immediately contact an Offi -
cial Porsche Centre to check the brake system.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, and must therefore
be replaced in accordance with the intervals
specified in the booklet "Guarantee and Mainten-
ance".
Always fill the system with new {unused) original
Porsche brake fluid . For filling capacity, see
chapter "Filling Capacities".
Caution: Brake fluid is corrosive, and can dam-
age the paintwork.
Reservoir for Windscreen and
Headlight Washer System
The reservoir is on the rear right inside the en-
gine compartment next to the battery and has a
capacity of approx. 6.5 litres .
It is a good idea to add the correct amount of
Porsche Window Cleanser - either summer or
winter grade according to the time of the year -
to the water . Generally, clean water alone is not
sufficient to clean the windscreen and head-
lights.
