Warning light comes on: Experiences and advice on brake fluid in the 2017 Toyota GT86

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey guys! I'm standing here a bit worried with my 2017 Toyota GT86, gasoline engine, already has a good 88803 km on the odometer. Recently, a warning light came on in the speedometer, which makes me think that the brake fluid level is too low. Has anyone ever been in the same situation? Can you tell me what your experiences were and how it went with your mechanic, especially if you had a bad experience after the last garage repair? Any help would be appreciated!

Hey, don't panic! Had a similar problem last year with my 2014 Toyota Supra. I had a small leak in the brake system. That's what caused the warning light. Imagine, just noticed on the road that my car had lost some braking power. The mechanic had to replace the entire brake line because he couldn't find the exact leak. It was quite a job, but afterwards everything ran like clockwork again. I thought it was pretty serious, because brakes are no joke. Better make sure you get it sorted quickly before it gets too dangerous. It was definitely not a Sunday stroll for the mechanic, but he managed it. I really hope it gets easier for you, man!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! Good to hear that you were able to get the problem under control. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the repair? And has anything else come up since then? Because I want to be prepared for anything if I go to the garage.

Hey, no problem! After I went to the mechanic, the problem with the low brake fluid level was fixed. It was probably a leak in the brake system. The fun cost me a whopping €405, but hey, safety first, right? Nothing has come up since then, at least in relation to the brakes. So take it easy, hopefully you won't get hit as hard as I did!

Thank you so much for calming my nervous wreck! So, 405 euros, right? Would say that's a fair price for safety. I'll be taking my GT86 to the garage too. Just hope the repair won't be that expensive. Had a mechanic before who wanted to charge me twice as much. Thanks again for the help!
