If you have a 2010-2017 Golf Mk7, you likely know that the brake system is pretty complex. There are multiple types of brakes and each one requires a specific order in which to be flushed. With that in mind, it’s important to know the order so that you can properly clean and maintain your car’s brakes.
How to Flush a MkBrakes
To flush a MkBrakes, you first need to locate the brake line. To do this, you will need to remove the wheel cover and front bumper. Then, you will need to unscrew the cap on the brake line. Next, you will need to pour a small amount of brake fluid down the line. Finally, you will screw the cap back on and replace the wheel cover and front bumper.
What Parts of the Brake System Require Flushing?
To ensure that your Mk Brakes are functioning properly, you must flush the brake system at least once a year. The flushing process cleans the parts of the brake system that work together to stop the car.
The flushing process starts with the brakes themselves. You will need to remove the brake pads and clean them using a solvent, such as paint thinner. Then, you will need to flush the bleeders and line bore area. Finally, you will need to flush and bleed the master cylinder.

How Often Should the Brakes be Flushed?
One of the most important maintenance tasks on your car is flushing the brake fluid. This is especially important if you have Mk brakes, which are prone to sticking.
The flushing process should be performed every 6 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. The easiest way to do this is to open the bleed valve on the rear of the brake pedal and let the fluid run out. You can also use a vacuum cleaner to clean out the system if it’s really dirty.
