kesher Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yesterday, I bled all the brakes using a pressure bleeder (Eezi Bleed) after letting the fluid drop well below the minimum level, and as my Focus has a hydraulic clutch I'm wondering if it's necessary to bleed the clutch even if the clutch is working fine. The Haynes manual does not list bleeding the clutch in it's service schedule. THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS It's most unlikely any air will have got into the clutch as this is fed from a separate compartment in the reservoir. Since the clutch is working ok it's best left alone.

Then I suppose as the clutch is fed from a separate compartment in the reservoir, the clutch's fluid cannot contaminate the newly changed brake fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
