Another Winter Storage Question

[Ralph E.]

On C2's with disk brakes is it necessary or suggested to press the brake pedal a few times when the car is in storage just to work the calipers a little?

I've owned my car for 20 years and have never done so. Well, maybe once or twice after saying Vroom VROOOM.

Brakes are fine.

Absolutely unnecessary - regardless of the brake system architecture. What's important is flushing the sytem every 2-4 years so absorbed moisture doesn't corrode the system internally.

It won't hurt and it might help with the dreaded air in the system from sitting that the o-rings are being sold on.

The only way to purge entrained air is to bleed the system.

Thanks for the feed back.
Plan on just leaving the car alone for the winter.
