Removed the clutch bleeder delay (All 6MT)

Post by rsmagee »

Just followed this guide from a MK7 GTi forum (http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14745) and the clutch feel on my scirocco is so much better! Gear changes feel much nicer now.

Had a bit of nightmare bleeding the clutch, but a cheap ezibleed sorted it in the end.

Anyone else tried this?

i would like to do this as well because shifting feels retarded in this car. so basically i have to take that little yellow valve off, put the thing back in, then get a random person to pump the clutch with the brake reservoir open, is that it?
im not very mechanical minded

There is also a valve in a small sphere on the clutch pipe from the master servo to the gearbox.
Alex at AKS sells a braided line to replace this and removes 2 clip connections and removes this small sphere.
