Bleeding the hydraulic clutch drive (Mercedes-Benz S-Class W126)

0
Bleeding the hydraulic clutch drive should be done if the pressed clutch pedal does not return or returns slowly to its original position, gears are difficult to engage, or if the hydraulic system has opened.

Since the hydraulic clutch drive operates on brake fluid, before carrying out work, you should read the section "Bleeding air from the brake system".

Raise the front of the car.

Check the brake fluid level in the expansion tank of the hydraulic clutch drive and, if necessary, top up the fluid to the "max" mark.

Remove the cap from the air bleed valve on the clutch slave cylinder and the air bleed valve on the front left wheel brake caliper.

Carefully ensure that the air release valves can be turned easily.

Place the transparent hose on the air release valve of the front left wheel brake caliper.

Fill the transparent hose with brake fluid. To do this, open the air release valve of the front left wheel brake caliper. Have an assistant press the brake pedal and hold it down. Close the air release valve and release the brake pedal.

After this, open the air release valve again and press the brake pedal again. Repeat this process until the transparent hose is completely filled with brake fluid. Close the free end of the hose with your finger so that the brake fluid does not leak out.

Attention: The brake fluid level should not drop too much; add fresh brake fluid if necessary.


Place the free end of the clear hose onto the clutch slave cylinder air bleed valve and open both air bleed valves.



Press the brake pedal. Close the air release valve and release the brake pedal. Repeat this process until air bubbles stop coming out of the expansion tank. Constantly add fresh brake fluid.

Close the air bleed valves on the clutch slave cylinder and brake caliper. Remove the transparent hose and put on the dust caps.

Lower the car.

Add brake fluid to the expansion tank up to the "max" mark.

Check the functioning of the clutch and brake system.
