Hydraulic clutch system bleed air

Check that the brake/clutch fluid in the reservoir is at the maximum level; if this is not the case, top up using the recommended fluid.

When topping up the brake/clutch fluid, remove the reservoir cap and top up until the maximum level is reached.

The symbol on the container identifies synthetic type brake/clutch fluids, distinguishing them from mineral type fluids. The use of mineral type fluids irreparably damages the special rubber seals in the hydraulic brake/clutch system.

Take great care to prevent the brake/clutch fluid, which is extremely corrosive, from coming into contact with the paintwork. If this does happen, was immediately with water.

The air in the hydraulic circuit acts as a pad absorbing a large amount of the pressure exerted by the brake pump and reducing the efficiency of the braking. The air present is felt at the brake pedal making it seem "spongy" and reducing the braking capacity.

Position the vehicle on a lift.

Check that the brake/clutch fluid is between the MIN and MAX levels.

1. Remove the brake/clutch fluid reservoir cap and connect the equipment to the reservoir.

2. Lift up the spring (2a) and move the oil pipe (2b) back until the first click in order to open the bleed valve incorporated in the actuator, then connect the recovery device (pipe and reservoir) to the bleed valve on the actuator (2c).

3. Open the fluid reservoir tap slowly.

Wait for all the air in the hydraulic system to escape.

Push the fluid pipe towards the actuator and lock it in position using the retaining spring.

Whilst bleeding the air, refill the brake fluid reservoir as necessary.

he brake/clutch fluid collected should not be reused. The level should always be topped up using new fluid.

If the system is not fully operational after bleeding the air, repeat the entire procedure after waiting for a few hours for the brake/clutch fluid to settle down in the system.

1. Cnnect the tool to the brake/clutch fluid reservoir.

2. Remove the cap from the bleed valve.

3. Connect the recovery device (pipe and reservoir) to the bleed valve on the clutch slave cylinder.

4. Tighten the bleed screw.

5. Open the fluid reservoir tap slowly.

Wait for all the air in the system to escape.

Tighten the bleed screw.

The bleed screw tightening torque should not be greater than 0.35 daNm.

Remove the fluid recovery device.

Place the cap in its housing on the bleed valve.

Remove the equipment.

Whilst bleeding the air, refill the brake-clutch fluid reservoir as necessary.
