Clutch Bleeding Problem - HELP! Using pressure bleeder Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Car is a 1994 9000CS Turbo. After changing a brake caliper I bled the entire brake system - fine. As long as I was at it and had my EZ Bleed pressure bleeder connected, I decided to bleed the clutch as well. This was going well, lots of dark brown fluid coming out. All of a sudden, a burst of air bubbles started coming through, which eventually stopped. I thought that perhaps I found a bubble in the system. Cleaned up and wanted to go for a test drive, but the clutch is now sinking to the floor, filled with air. Level of the reservoir never went below full.
Tried again (several times!), I can't get the air out. I'm running about 20 psi on the bleeder (recommended max pressure), bubbles are the only thing coming out. I do not see any leaks around the clutch master or the slave (hard to see). I've never bled the clutch on this car before, this is a disaster! Any ideas? I need the car tomorrow.
