6-speed manual transmission
Air must be bled from the clutch hydraulic actuator if the clutch pedal does not return or returns with deceleration, the clutch does not disengage well, or if the hydraulic system has been opened.
Security measures
Since the clutch hydraulic system works with brake fluid, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the materials of the Chapter Brake system.
Brake fluid is poisonous and will damage your vehicle's paintwork.
Attention! The air removal process described here may leave some air in the system. A sign of this is scratching and not completely disengaging the clutch. In this case, the air from the clutch hydraulic system must be immediately removed at the service station using a special device.
Air removal without the use of a special device
1. Check the level in the brake fluid reservoir, if necessary, add fluid to the system, refer to the Head Current service.
Attention! Do not allow the liquid level in the tank to decrease, top up the liquid all the time.
Note. The operation of lifting and placing the vehicle on stands is dangerous! Therefore, before carrying out the operation, read Section Jacking and towing Introduction to leadership.
2. Raise and place the vehicle on stands.
3. Remove the bottom cover.
4. Remove the dust cap from the bleed port (arrow on the working cylinder). Put a transparent hose on the fitting.
Note. The accompanying illustration is informative and does not fully correspond to the described model.
5. Carefully rotate the fitting. Use a wrench to open so as not to damage the hexagon of the fitting.
6. Lower the free end of the hose into a container with brake fluid so that it does not enter the system during the removal of air.
7. Ask an assistant to press the clutch pedal to the stop about 10 times and then leave the pedal in the depressed position.
8. In this position open the union for removal of air, at the same time the brake fluid will begin to flow out. When there is no more air in the escaping fluid, or if the fluid pressure drops, close the fitting.
Attention! Do not allow a significant decrease in the level of liquid in the reservoir, add new liquid all the time.
9. Release the clutch pedal and press it again 10 times. While holding the pedal in this position, open the choke. Repeat this procedure as many times as necessary to ensure that no air bubbles are visible in the hose. At the same time, constantly add new fluid to the reservoir.
Attention! If the brake fluid needs to be completely replaced, bleed air until new fluid appears in the hose. Its sign is a lighter color.
10. Close the fitting on the working cylinder. Remove the hose and put on the dust cap.
11. Replace the bottom cover.
12. Fill reservoir with fluid up to the MAX line.
13. Check the operation of the brake system and clutch.
Air removal with the device
At service stations, air is removed from the clutch system, as a rule, using a special device. This device creates fluid pressure in the system. Below is a description of only the differences from the above described method of removing air without using the device.
1. Connect the instrument as described by its manufacturer to the brake fluid reservoir.
2. Remove a dustproof cap from the union of removal of air on the working cylinder of coupling. Put a hose on the fitting. Dip the end of the hose into the brake fluid bottle.
3. Open the fitting and keep it open until no more air is released, then close the fitting.
Attention! If the brake fluid needs to be completely replaced, bleed air until new fluid appears in the hose. Its sign is a lighter color.
4. Put the dust cap on the fitting.
5. Remove the bleeder.
6. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid up to the MAX mark and close the reservoir.
