Bleeding Clutch - By Pumping The Pedal

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information

If a bleeding device filled with Pentosin is available, you can bleed the clutch in the same way as for previous systems.
To do this, connect the bleeding device to the front of the Pentosin reservoir.
The high-pressure hydraulic system of the clutch does not need to be bled separately. Actuating the clutch pedal approx. 10 times while the engine is running will suffice.

Remove cover over Pentosin reservoir. To do this, the battery cover must also be removed.

Afterwards, activate complete pedal travel manually very slowly (with the clutch pedal).
Information
- Make sure that the supply tank is not sucked dry. Top up if necessary!
After about 10 pedal strokes, leave the pedal in its normal position. Then close the bleeder valve (enlist assistance of 2 mechanics).
Fill the transparent supply tank with fresh Pentosin and continue bleeding. Open the bleeder valve -arrow- at the clutch slave cylinder and then activate complete clutch pedal travel manually very slowly until no more air bubbles appear at the bleeder valve -arrow- (at the collecting bottle with transparent hose). Then close the bleeder valve.
Information: Pentosin can be disposed of together with waste oil.

Top up the fluid level for the transparent supply tank -2- (correct using Pentosin hydraulic fluid/must lie between the Min. and Max. marking). Then screw on the lid (green). Counter the tank when doing this.
