Moin, that sounds really serious with the leak in the brake system. Fortunately, I haven't had any such experience yet. Do you remember what you had to pay to get everything back on track? And have you had any problems since then or has everything remained in the green zone?

Hey, sure, I won't forget the bill any time soon. I had to fork out €405 to fix the leak in the brake system. A lot of money, but at least everything was back in order and the warning that the brake fluid level was too low didn't appear. Since then, everything has been fine and I've had no further problems. So, it's best to get it checked quickly so that you're safe on the road.

Oops, that really is a lot of money, but safety should always come first. You're absolutely right. I'll take my DS5 to the garage first thing tomorrow morning and have everything checked. Thank you very much for your advice and experience, that really helped me. Hopefully there's nothing serious wrong with my car and it's just a minor repair. Fingers crossed!

Hey, I had the same problem with my Citroen C5 (2015 model, diesel, approx. 85,000 KM). Initially also thought it was the brake fluid level, but it turned out there was a leak in the brake system. It was quite serious, as this poses a considerable risk. I took my car to the garage, the guys there checked the entire brake system, replaced a few pipes and bled the system. Everything was fine again, after which the warning light no longer came on. Please have it checked quickly before a dangerous situation arises. Good luck!
