Scala brake fluid change

Featured Replies

Just curious does clutch slave cylinder get bled when brake fluid is changed?

Thanks

You'd need to bleed the clutch hydraulics system separately as it has its own fluid feed from the "brake" reservoir.

Quite a few people don't feel the need to bleed the clutch as often as the brake system.

If the job's done correctly, yes the fluid should be bled from the clutch slave cylinder as well as the calipers .

Thanks for the quick reply, will ask for it to be bled when I get it done. Can't believe dealer price is £112.06 and spark plugs £175.84!

When dealing with bits of plastics on a car more than a few years old then sometimes it is better to leave them alone plus of course if someone else is doing the work and you can't or don't check what they have, or claim, to have done then they can tell you anything - but perhaps people in the motor trade are better where you are and I'm just cynical from decades of experience with the English motor trade.

Contacted dealer and they do bleed the clutch slave cylinder as well

It seems you have a good dealer. Stick with them.

Bleeding both systems is the right thing to do. If you don't you leave an amount of old fluid in the system due to the combined reservoir.

Exactly what I was thinking, Slacks of Middlesbrough are cheaper than the prices I posted above as well
