Question
QUESTION: i had the two brake light warning stay on untill it runs for awhile. now there is a buzzergoing off constantly and i have a dim light showing low brake fluid. i  can't find the brake fluid fill and also is the buzzer part of the system. the buzzer seems to be coming under the driver side dash. thanks hal berman

ANSWER: Hello Mr Berman. the reservoirs is located in the engine bay nearest the DS fender. they are black circular plastic caps with a float were one can view the fluid level. please make sure that you use the correct fluid. it is a mineral based fluid green in colour. and the fill ports are the diameter of a pencil covered by small caps, the buzzer is the final warning that the system is about to have a total failure. please do not drive the car with both systems giving warnings. you will find your self not being able to stop the car. there is a method to diagnose a system failure, it is to long to type it here. if you call me i can talk you through it.

QUESTION: hi jorge, where do i get the fluid? sounds like old citreon green. thanks hal

Answer
that is precisely right Harold. Castrol has it with the correct tap for filling the reservoirs, LHM mineral oil. the braking system is under license from Citroen. I have them here in S Florida $24. per bottle. I would not know local distributors in your area an internet search may help yuo, last local resort would be the agency.
