Red Lup Gti Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 righto then people, this only really affects people that are out of warranty and are tight style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> when i was traveling long distances i noticed that my clutch pedal was `non-existant`, but when i pumped it up it was mint! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> so basically there was air in system! 1. unscrew `brake-clutch` resoirvoir and top up with dot 4 brake fluid.2. pump clutch pedal 5 times and hold pedal down using piece of wood wedged between seat and pedal.3. locate clutch slave cylinder (is on top of gearbox on gti) there is a 11mm bleed nipple ontop of cylinder, get a piece of pipe to go over the nipple and a old can or tray to place at the other end of pipe! 4. open nipple with your 11mm spanner until u see fluid (normally black style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ) 5. tighten bleed nipple back up and pump cluth pedal 5 times and hold pedal down again with wood! 6. repeat process's `1-5` around 5 times and don't forget to tighten bleed nipple back up :roll: (refit rubber bung on nipple) take for a test drive to see if this has sorted the problem style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> (normal disclamer applies) good luck!

paulbin Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 would holding the bitting point on the clutch make the brake fluid hot and change the colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lup Gti Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 nope, constant battering of the brakes would tho! clutch slave cylinder only moves a little rod with moves the clutch fork which inturn moves the thrust bearing style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
