Title: clutch and sunroof drain question
Post by: zuluf on 28 September 2010, 16:23:52

Hi all!

Two questions.
1. '97 Omega 2.0 16v, what type of clutch is on it? To be more precise clutch pulling mechanism. I've talked with a friend who mentioned that its hydraulic. So is it hydraulic or is it mechanical (cord or whatever, don't know the english word)?
2.I've looked arround but couldn't find any guides or such for sunroof drain cleaning because I can't figure it out where it is (the drain ofcourse :) )

Thanks in advance!

The clutch is hydraulic, you will see the pipe run off the brake master cylinder to the clutch master cylinder.

What makes you think the sunroof drains need clearing? Do you have water in the front or rear footwell?

I have some water/moisture in front footwells. Cleaned the drainage where polum filter is today but I want to check the sunroof drain too just to be sure.
From time to time I have some wet problems back in the trunk and I suspect that it's maybe from sunroof (or not, don't know where it drains), maybe a leaking rear glass or some water getting in from LPG inlet/outlet because wet problems only occure in right part of the trunk. Any ideas of yours for possible problems regarding the trunk ?

P.S.
Was thinking of maybe changing clutch oil now that I'm certain that it's hydraulic. From time to time I'm having a feeling that it isn't separating properly (or thats my imagination)

You will find small holes in the front & rear corners of the roof frame
Gently probe with a piece of plastic covered wire as used with net curtains
Do not be rough with your probing as you may dislodge the pipes that run down to under the wings
With the rears you can see where the pipes go through the boot floor near the petrol cap release motor & at the front of the spare wheel well.

Didn't have much time today but I'll check the drainage tomorrow.

As I understand clutch system uses oil from breaking system. Is it complicated to change oil regarding the clutch system and after that is it complicated to bleed out the clutch system?
All in all is it entirely a complicated process?
