[DML] Re: Low Brake Fluid Indicator: was Low fuel warning indicator

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fuel sender has a well in it with little holes so it reacts slowly
to fuel sloshing around. I said to remove it slowly so the fuel can
run out the little hole in the bottom. The S/S braided brake lines are
overkill but if it makes you happy go for it. You may notice a stiffer
brake pedal with them as the hoses will not bulge under pressure like
the rubber origionals. If you don't know how old the brake fluid is I
would flush it even if it is clean (you kind of have to if you are
replacing the hoses anyway). In your case you can figure the fluid was
flushed in /03 when the calipers were replaced. Make sure the brake
hoses are not kinked ie, the ridges on the surface of the brake hoses
run nice and smoothly to the calipers indicating the hoses are not
twisted. The one hose I DO recomend changing is the clutch line. The
S/S one is a big improvement over the plastic line. Jumper the plug
going to the Lambda counter and see if the Lambda light comes on. You
may want to check all your warning lights.
