Asked by Marc
I can change the oil in my car, but I think doing a clutch bleed might be a bit difficult. Can I do it myself or is it too much?
Answered by CarsGuide
7 Sep 2018Bleeding a clutch system involves purging the hydraulic system that operates the clutch slave cylinder, replacing the old fluid with fresh fluid. This is an important piece of maintenance to do as the fluid breaks down over time, or air bubbles can appear in the system, causing problems actuating the clutch. Bleeding these systems isn't a job for an amateur as they involve corrosive fluids and specific techniques that, if done incorrectly, can cause significant damage.
It is far better to get a qualified mechanic or dealership to bleed your clutch system for you.
