Important Notes On Bleeding

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.

The clutch hydraulics must always be filled or bled using a bleeding device. Furthermore, the bleeder valve must be opened by 1 to 2 turns and the overpressure on the bleeding device must be approx. 1.3 bar (19 psi).

Once the filling or bleeding process has started, the clutch pedal must be moved (extremely slowly) into the "Pedal fully depressed" position.

As there is no system pressure, servo kinematic effects will cause the clutch pedal to move forward abruptly. In order to avoid damage, the pedal must be guided manually.

In general, a minimum filling time of 90 seconds must be observed. Once this filling period has elapsed, check that no more bubbles appear at the bleeder valve (use a collecting bottle with transparent hose). Only then should you close the bleeder valve.
