Test of hydraulic clutch control
l  The pedal actuation must not be obstructed by moved or additional foot mats.
l  Bleed the clutch system if necessary.
   
–  First of all check the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir.
  Note
t  The clutch hydraulic is connected to one of the chambers -arrow 2- of the brake fluid reservoir by the return hose -arrow 1-.
t  If there is no or little brake fluid in this chamber, there is a leak in the system.
–  Subsequently check the following components of the hydraulic clutch control for external leak:
t  Return hose between brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder
t  Master cylinder
t  Tube-hose line between master and slave cylinder
t  Connection points (plug and screw connections) also in a non-visible area
t  Slave cylinder
  Note
t  Symptoms of an external leak are, amongst others, traces of brake fluid on or below the gearbox, as well as on the noise insulation under the gearbox.
t  Check the correct routing of the tube-hose line between the master and slave cylinder. The line must not be kinked or trapped.
–  Subsequently depress the clutch pedal carefully, at the same time hold the pedal in five different positions for approx. 20 seconds over the entire distance the pedal has to travel. While doing so, a second person must check if fluid is leaking from the components of the hydraulic clutch control → Anchor. At the same time the first person must check if the clutch pedal falls through on its own while being held.
