vectra clutch bleeding !!

Mark_647

Hello all,

Finally have internet again ! (BT broadband is terrible)

Anyone know in detail how to bleed the clutch on a vectra ?
I dont even know where the bleed nipple is or how to do it ?
Any advice is appreciated !!!

Thankyou, Mark

good that some one asked. i was planning to bleed the clutch n brake ( following Haynes) with the help of a one man bleeding kit...

i am watching this space for a few tips ... do's n dont's ....

I use a pressure bleed kit, there is a 9mm nipple on the clutch pipe below the battery, bleed as you would a brake caliper cheers..

Thankyou both for your replies...

Would you have to take the battery out to locate the nipple ?

Sorry for the questions, how would you actually bleed the clutch ?
(Ill make sure I have another person to sit inside the car with the clutch)

Thankyou very much for your help !!

Mark cheers..

the bleed nipple can be reached without removing anything, it sits at the front of the gearbox.

use the same method as bleeding the brakes for the clutch

Thanks for your reply,

Would I have someone pump the clutch whilst I slacken the nipple - then get the person to hold the clutch down whilst i tighten the nipple back up ? notsure.gif

Also - how many times would you bleed it ? Would putting a litre through it be enough ? :?

Thankyou for your help !! cheers..
