Strange how thoughts pop into your head... I changed the brake fluid this time last year but just thought, I didn't flush any out of the clutch.  Given the fluid in both rear calipers was black the VW/Audi mechanic that did the previous change was clearly a lazy git so I bet the fluid in the clutch is black too.

Where's the clutch slave cylinder bleed nipple accessed from?  Under the car?

 

2014 TSI vrs.

 

Ta.

For mine, 2013 1.4 TSI, the slave cylinder nipple is easily accessible from top just beside the battery.

Hi @LondonNeil, 

Is there any issue in bleeding the brakes if the car has the "hill start assist"? I mean the option that keeps the brakes on for a bit when you are starting on a slope?

Or is it all as it used to be on "old style" cars?

 

Many thanks in advance.

I've not read that in the manual.

 

Just don't let air in, otherwise you'll need to use vcds to bleed the abs unit.

 

Otherwise just bleed in the sequence stated.

 

I think it's FR, FL, RR, RL
