Bleeding Clutch
« on: 22 May 2010, 16:44:36 »
Hi folks new to the site but already put into practice a lot of your tips, I have a 2003 2.2dti i have just changed the flywheel,clutch all went well but having trouble bleeding the clutch. I have bled it manual and with a pressure bleeder, it seems ok then i drive a couple of miles and the pressure at the pedal drops if i lift the pedal with my foot it seems ok just getting fed up any suggestions  :-/

did the fill the brake bottle to top, open nip on under side and pump pedall need some one to do the pedal, hold down pedal after air out and tighten the bleed vale on down pedal. keep checking the fluid in bottle.

That doesn't sound right to me. My 2.5 V6 manual had a big spring on the pedal that gave an 'over centre' action. When the pedal was down it provided assistance so it was less tiring holding the clutch down but when it was up it pulled up with some force.

I would be suspicious that the master cylinder was faulty.

Bleed it the easy way.... 100ml syringe and a length of pipe like the fish tank air pipe. Fill the syringe out of the master cylinder, put the pipe on the bleed nipple, open it a quarter turn and push the syringe in. Lock the nipple off and refill out of the master cylinder. 3 full syringes are enough to bleed it out from dry :y

I think the problem is at the pedal, when chacking again noticed the clutch pedal sitting higher than the brake. put on a temp spacer to level the two pedals and hey presto clutch works fine and holds pressure. is there any way to adjust pedal height in master cylinder or pedal box
