Product Information

Don’t worry, you don’t need any fancy tools or expertise to do this, all you need is a few paper towels and 5 spare minutes. Before you begin If the clutch fluid is below the bottom marker, then you will need to top up. Brake fluid can also be used as clutch fluid (most containers will read “brake & clutch fluid”). All you need to do is remove the cap and fill until the fluid sits between the two makers. Windscreen wash With the vehicle positioned on the ramp and before raising, starting under the bonnet, disconnect the battery, remove the engine cover, disconnect the air mass meter and remove the air filter housing and ducting. Then disconnect the turbo boost pressure sensor multiplug and remove the upper charge air hose and, with these removed we now have better access to the gearbox area. At this point it is good practice to change the clutch fluid in the hydraulic system. This will remove any contaminated fluid that could cause bleeding problems or even premature failure in the hydraulic system. This is carried out simply by allowing the fluid to flow through the system. Remembering to keep the reservoir topped up, also open the bleed valve to confirm correct operation before we commence bleeding.

It’s worth nothing that in some cars, in particular those from the VW Group (Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi), need a specific type of coolant/antifreeze. Your vehicle handbook will state what type you’ll need and can often be a different colour (in the case of VAG cars, it is dyed purple). At the CarShop Service Centre we can identify any fluid visually and by the Autodata system, and can provide the correct coolant too! Clutch fluid level should not fall as the clutch itself wears. It might actually rise. If the level is dropping you need to find the leak. While opinions differ, you’ll probably want to change your hydraulic fluid every time your change your brake fluid. As mentioned above, the two systems often share fluids, which makes it easier to shop for. And, it tends to be a messy, drippy job, so it’s probably best to get it done all at once. But what does a clutch master cylinder do, where’s it at, and how do you know when you need to replace it? Just as importantly, when you narrow down the problem to your clutch master cylinder, how much will it cost to replace it?We’ll speak in general terms because front-wheel transaxle vehicles have a slight different look than a rear-wheel drive setup. And based on the type of clutch actuator you have (pushrod or bearing, explained above), your bleeding job will be slightly different too. Ensure the mounting surface for the new CSC is clean and then mount it (do not ‘dry squeeze’ the CSC as this can cause damage internally or externally) and bolt into position, torqueing the bolts to the manufacturer’s specification (see below). Be very careful when you handle antifreeze – it is poisonous. And as a side note, it can also damage your car’s paintwork, so try and avoid any spillages. The clutch assembly can now be removed from the flywheel. Inspection found that the clutch plate had worn close to the end of its service life and the release mechanism was free from lubrication, both of which would contribute to a heavy clutch pedal. No, we’re not yanking your chain; clutch fluid is a real thing. And if you’re looking in the clutch fluid reservoir, the fluid should always be at the same height. Otherwise, you have a problem somewhere in the system, and the most likely culprit is a leaking clutch master cylinder.

It’s worth mentioning that you can’t leave the reservoir open too long, and the same goes for the container with the new fluid. This is because the fluid will absorb moisture from the air and can ultimately cause corrosion in the brake system. How to top up brake fluid Most cars have a coolant reservoir that have minimum and maximum levels marked on the side, this means that you can simply have a look to see if it is between the ideal levels. How to top up coolant Depending on the make of your car, the power steering fluid reservoir may have level markings similarly to the coolant, where you can visually to see if it is in the optimal level. Typically, the clutch master cylinder directly connects to the clutch pedal via a pushrod, so if you draw a straight line from your clutch pedal into your engine bay, you’ll usually find the clutch master cylinder.

Fluid Reservoirs

In many car models, the clutch master cylinder uses the brake fluid, so they use a shared reservoir. Therefore, if you can’t find the clutch fluid reservoir, it is most likely using the brake fluid. 2. Soft or Spongy Clutch Pedal Your clutch fluid is like your brake fluid in that if it feels spongy or soft, you have water or air in the system. Moisture in a hydraulic system is a killer, and with clutch fluid, there’s no reason that it should ever be there. Don’t rush this, it’s better to put in oil little and often, as over-filling can cause leaks. Coolant/Antifreeze
