whats best way to clear this bleeding? does it needing doing under pressure?

anyone?

As some will know I replaced my clutch, dual mass fly wheel,and slave cyclinder. Before i did this the clutch was slipping and the clutch pedal would move on its own down ward when i pressed the throttle then return up when i lifted off the power about an inch. now since the clutch has been done i have also replaced the master cyclinder behind the clutch pedal and rebled the system but the new problem is the clutch is not fully disengaugeing and the pedal is still moveing on its own but both these issues are intermitent? there is no clutch slip but sometimes when its in 1st or reverse it is as if i am holding the car on the biteing point and it is very hard to get the car OUT of gear if not moveing ? im stumped by this now as everything in the clutch system is new and it has been bled many times i thought it could have been the master cyclinder so i replaced that but that hasnt changed anything. Does it need bleeding under pressure? as my only conclusion is that it is a fluid issue as it is intermitent and the pedal moveing thing was happening proir to the work been done. every one i ask is lost on this problem has anyone any suggestions as where going to have another look later today.

Cheers mate

Looking back it would be easyier to just drop the engine out it was a pig to get the gear box out and then back in and you also need a strong engine hoist as you can see in the picture above. You have to remove alot of engine parts so it can be tilted so that takes time and also note that the instructions in the Haynes manual are not for a 6 speed box so some parts arnt very clear. Apart from that it's easy lol it took us probably 2 days to do if you count in all the stripping down needed and make sure you have all the correct tools as some special items are needed I have been working on a list so I can post it up here so people know what is needed for what job hopefully it will then be pinned

I will take some more pics tomorrow for you

No idea but part numbers matched so I just swapped the brackets over

Don't know it's the right part number

hard work but i enjoyed it

spent about £1300 in total i bet with labour it would have been double at least

I thankyou

all fitted thankyou matey

And what an epic task it was just doing the cam belt and clutch the engine has to be tilted to do both in different directions looking back it would have been easyer to just drop the engine out it would have probably saved allot of time. I still have some bits to do as we ran out of time but the difference is already impressive both in the handling and the clutch feel. Im getting it to how i want it bit by bit.

Hi guys I thought I do a little write up on the past 7 days as the vRS has had lots added to it, It was due a cam belt change I thought that while I am doing that I would treat the old girl to some new toys so the shopping list was Fast Road Clutch Dual Mass Flywheel Poly Bushes Cam Belt Water Pump Aux Belt Oil Coolant Change 5.1 brake fluid Rear Pads Rear Upper Strut Brace Hell braded hoses Dog Bone Mount Drop Links Ball Joints Gear box oil Oil Filter Fuel Filter and a new magic tree
