Red Lup Gti Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 righto then people, this only really affects people that are out of warranty and are tight when i was traveling long distances i noticed that my clutch pedal was `non-existant`, but when i pumped it up it was mint! 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 ) 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 (refit rubber bung on nipple) take for a test drive to see if this has sorted the problem (normal disclamer applies) good luck!
