Attention! Be careful not to spill clutch fluid on painted surfaces. If this happens, immediately wash off the liquid with water.
Note. Do not mix different brands of clutch fluids.
Note. Do not reuse drained clutch fluid.
Any hydraulic system works normally if air is removed from it.
When bleeding, add only clean fluid recommended by the manufacturer. Never reuse fluid leaked from the hydraulic clutch release.
If fluids of different brands are accidentally mixed in the hydraulic system, remove the fluid from it, flush it with clean fluid of the required brand and install new o-rings.
In case of constant leakage of fluid from the hydraulic drive or air entering it, determine the cause and location of the leak, and repair the damage.
Poorly performed hydraulic priming can cause incorrect diagnostic results and unnecessary replacement of parts.
During any work on the clutch hydraulic drive, be sure to bleed the air from the sections of the hydraulic circuit:
- between the tank and the fitting for removing air;
- between the air bleeder and the clutch slave cylinder;
- with increased pedal free play.
Place the car on a two post lift.
Remove the engine undertray.
