Hi all,
Newbie here with a 2013 Golf Mk7 1.4TSI 90kW manual, bought new in 2013.
First time I owned a VW, all my other cars are Volvo.
I renewed the brake fluid today for the first time, the last few times were done by the dealership.The brake fluid renewal procedure I used is as specified by the VW Mk7 workshop manual that I bought online.
The first part is brake fluid renewal, everything seem normal.
The workshop procedure requires the clutch fluid to be renewed also. This is where it got weird.
After removing some 100ml of fluid from the clutch nipple suddenly a lots of air came out. The fluid reservoir level is still between min and max, i.e. no air is coming from the reservoir.
The procedure then requires the clutch nipple to be closed and the clutch pedal press and release some 15 times.
In the second stage, the first 50 or so millilitre is ok, then air again. When I closed the nipple and test, there was no clutch. I could not get into gear. Bled another 10 or so millilitres of fluid and the clutch came back. When I went for a test drive there was nothing wrong.Have anybody had this problem? Any guess what's going on here, anything to worry about?
