Here is a question. Is this possible to do without jacking up the car? Anyone try it, or maybe just jacking up one side? I don't have stands, and to be honest, I'm wary of using them for safety reasons.

I have gutted my cdv valve and it is back in place. In the process lost the fluid so where is the fluid reservoir? Clutch is back working after letting it sit with the pedal held down for 6 hours. Took car for quick spin and it sure makes a difference.

WooHoo, this car is so fast this is crazy.
360mls and counting Clutch was annoying after 05 SI HB, that stick and clutch was unbelievable so i replaced the CDV and it feels much better now but it lost some oil, not much but still need to check it. Where is the dam oil tank?:iono: |

Larryn - thanks for the detailed instructions.
For those of you seeking a gutted CDV to put in its place, I'd echo the sentiments of some others expressed here - forget it, just leave it out. Keep the original CDV in case you don't like the added feel, or in case you want to sell the car to someone who doesn't. |

Hoping for a quick response on this... I am going to be clamping the soft line to eliminate as much fluid from leaking out... and I understand it'll likely result in not needing to add fluid, but I do have a couple questions...
1) Does brakes and clutch use the same brake resivoir? 2) Bleeding exactly like the brakes? Eg, somone pushing in the clutch, gently loosen the bleed screw until fluid comes out a bit, then tighten it off? 3) any other advice for me? Do Ramps in the front get me close enough to the cdv valve? |

Ok, I just did it... getting to the bleeder set screw is a royal pita... now if I didnt bleed it well enough would would the symptoms be? Problems engaging the clutch, eg it'd always want to be in gear, and also, real light clutch pedal? I think all is well it drives ok, but dont want to neglect her..
One thing I can say off the get go... the cdv valve is by far the easiest part of the swap (took me literally like 5min)...bleeding is the worst... |

I just posted this in another thread, but....it's good to know.
If you have bleeding problems, the clutch draws from a segregated section of the brake fluid reservoir. You may think you have clutch fluid.

how do you get it into the clutch side vs the brake side... and if I add more do I need to re-bleed? (no right, because the air bubbles that would have been down there due to my temp cdv outage was bled out there right?)

You have to fill it, then definitely re-bleed. Keep an eye on the amount of fluid in the reservoir, and make sure you keep the level up while replacing the air in your lines with fluid.
You'll get pedal feel back, but keep pumping until you stop seeing bubbles in your container that the hose from the bleeder valve goes in to. |

I dont have tubing/jar etc... I actually got a bit of fluid out the bleed, while clutch still depressed I tighteed it back up then added a bit of fluid... Car drives fine, though I dont exactly remember how firm the clutch was before =( I am going to get a bleeder or somethign tomrorow, whats the approximate diameter of the hose? 1/4 inner diaemter?

I've got a question. If you haven't bleed it completely, will the lines eventually rid of all the air bubbles? i.e. keep driving for X miles and so on.
I don't remember how firm the clutch feel before as well :P Thx |

Tomorrow I am def going to try bleeding again I think I lost maybe a teaspoon of brake fluid IF that. I bought some tubing today, but I think inner diameter might be too small to fit on the bleeder... my prob is opening and closing the bleed valve.

Definitely not. In fact air slowly leaks into the lines over time. Any air in the lines will slowly get worse as it will speed up the process of the brake fluid absorbing moisture. Take the time to do a proper bleed for the sake of your clutch and driving experience.
