Bleeding the clutch system: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The clutch hydraulics must always be filled or bled using a pressure filling and bleeding device. Furthermore, the bleeder valve must be opened sufficiently and the gauge pressure must be approx. 1.5 bar.
Before the system is filled or bled, the clutch pedal must be in the "Pedal fully depressed" position.

WARNING: 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. Bleed the system until no more bubbles appear at the bleeder valve (use a collecting bottle with transparent hose). If the system was open previously (for example, for component replacement), the minimum filling or bleeding time must be 30 seconds.
