Clutch fluid


Scarface GTti

Recommended Posts

I`ve never had a car with a hydraulic clutch before so have never needed to know how to change the oil. Seeing as my TT`s clutch fluid looks `orrible i`m going to change it. My two questions are;

 

1. How to get the old fluid out?

2. How to bleed the system once the new fluids in?

 

I`m guessing there is probably a bleed nipple near the peddle but i could be totally wrong. Anyone done this?

You will find the bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder, which is on the nearside of the bellhousing. Just bleed fresh fluid through until it comes out clean. Be aware fresh fluid is more "searching" than old tired stuff, so if the master or slave cylinder seals are tired the new fluid could create a leak, either fluid exiting, or air entering the system. Cheap brake fluid is fine, there's little or no heat put into the clutch fluid.
