I want to change my brake fluid. I've owned other cars with ABS that had very specific procedures, supposedly to prevent damage to system components that were under high pressure. Does the Q45 have any such specific procedure or is it just an open & drain type of job?Thanks

Nothing special, just bleed and add before the level drops so low it sucks air. You'll also bleed from the ABS Unit. I think there are two nipples there. There is a certain sequence that you follow but I can't recall. I'm sure others will pipe in. I've heard of other using speed-bleeders which allow you bleed without any help but I don't bother with them... it's so infrequent.

ON the 94 there is no bleeder on the ABS unit... You want to do it in this order:

Drivers rearPassenger rearDriver frontPassenger front

Because the fluid goes from the MC to the ABS unit...
