182 ...question

[Kiev85]

This has been happening on my 182 for the last few days...

when accelerating uphill, the handbrake light and stop light flicker on and off....(i thought low brake fluid)

but i read in the handbook however that it only means the brakefluid is low when it comes on when you press the brake pedal (and im not)...

does this mean my fluid is still low and do you think i can hold out untill my service in (4000) miles time

any suggestions appreciated..!

its break fluid sloshing around because its low

Yeah had to top mine up the other day and Ive only done 8k.

I cant understand how reno do so well in F1 when they build cars like this - or maybe thats why, our crappy builds help them pay for their F1 team - hehe

mine did same, top up cured it, check all you fluids whilst your at it, most of mine were low

Ill tell you what it is. When your brake pads are running low,the brake oil is compressed further,but as soon as you put new pads on,brake level will go back up.

^^not always , my car was nearly new when it did it (i.e 95% of pad left), it appears renault hardly put enough fluid in, so when you go uphill or around a corner quick the fluid moves away from the sensor
