CDV Install

bulldog_yyc · 01-14-2009, 09:19 PM

Would you guys bleed the clutch fluid and change it after the CDV install? Car has about 56XX km's....

clamp, install, unclamp, pump clutch, good to go

I didn't bother to. I did mine with a lot less miles on it though. I don't think its necessary.

I bled mine... you definitely don't have to, though...

First, it's brake fluid. Second, you may want to look at one of the DIY prior to attempting this yourself.

There is no dedicated clutch fluid, it's drawn from the save reservoir as the brake fluid. No need to change but make sure to bleed.

If the cdv mod is done right you wont have to bleed it.As far as changing the fluid,absolutely do not have to do it.

Just use windshield washer fluid! Bah!

You don't need to change it out, but I would bleed it. On the E92, I thought that getting to that clutch bleeder valve was a huge PITA.
