hi guys ive just replaced the clutch on my st170 along with the slave cylinder but now it wont bleed what so ever! ive tried the manual way like you would a brake but nothing. i went a got a pressure bleeder hooked it up open the nipple and still nothing come out. i even tried manual bleeding with the pressure bleeder hooked up but still no fluid coming through. im getting so frustrated now thanks luke

 

Is the pot full to the brim? The fluid intake for the clutch is usually right at the top, if it's only at 'max' the clutch pot probably can't draw anything in

 

i made sure it was right to the top, i dont see why im having so much agg lol

 

Is the pedal up or down?
Had trouble bleeding my Cupra R clutch, I pulled the pedal up by hand and then pressure bleed it.

 

put a pipe on bleed nipple and suck till fluid comes through, dont get any in your mouth tho it dont taste too great

 

the pedal is sitting where it should it just has no pressure and theres no fluid coming through the bleed nipple, ive been out there half the day doing this lol

 

you are doing the press clutch and hold, open bleed nipple, close bleed nipple, release clutch method arnt you and not just pumping the pedal with the nipple open?

 

yea hold pedal down open the close then release the pedal

 

try sucking it through first then, you sure the new slave hasnt "popped" and is filling the bellhousing with fluid, the amount of times ive had this happen is a joke and is now why, when doing any clutch with hydraulic operation i fit the box with two bolts then bleed the clutch before building the car back up

 

the fluid isnt even going down in the res tho no matter how much i pump it doesnt use any if i open up the bleed nipple and pump the pedal i can hear air pushing and pulling

 

like i said then suck it through it will sort it mate, once you have sucked it through bleed it as normal

 

cheers mate i will give it ago fingers crossed!

 

Get yourself a gunson eezibleed kit. They are about Ł20 in halfords. Just need the air from the spare so no need for some one to pump the pedal.

 

Go to your local vets (yes, really) and ask for a 50/60 mil syringe, they will probably give you one free.
Fix some rubber/plastic tube on it.
Suck up some clean brake fluid, without any air bubbles in.
Attach to slave cylinder bleed nipple and then open it.
Pump the fluid out of the syringe, effectively bleeding it backwards (the fluid may overflow from the reservoir if it's full)
You may need to do repeat once or twice to get all the air out.
Works everytime and you don't even need to touch the pedal.
Hope this helps

 

Ive been trying with that eezie bleed kit got it from gsf. Could my master cylinder be fooked? As ive tried pushing the fluid back up the system and still get nothing coming back to the res just alot of pressure in the syringe

 

thanks for all the fast replies it turned out to be the master was blocked somehow, went and got a new one fitted it and boom bleed up straight away

 

Cool glad u got sorted

 

Nice one .
