I purchased a partially restored S2 spider. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to bleed the clutch. I'm pretty sure I am doing it correctly but just to check:
- Attach hose to bleed valve nipple. Submerge other end in cup of brake fluid.
- Fill fluid reservoir up to "max" line.
- have friend sit in driver's seat
- open bleed valve
- have friend pump clutch pedal
- ensure reservoir remains filled above "min" line
- when no air bubbles emerge in cup of brake fluid have friend hold clutch pedal to the floor
- close bleed valve
That was my method. Pumped the clutch pedal for a good ten minutes. I could not get it to work. If I repeat the above, sometimes some air would still emerge from the hose under the car. Am I doing something wrong or should I start to consider the possibility something has broken?
