Thanks for this explanation.. Mk6 GTI EA888 2.0L TSI 2012.. what steps did it for me were: 1) With bleeder valve CLOSED, pump for 30 seconds which builds up pressure (needed to bleed properly). 2) Immediately open bleeder valve and let air bubbles escape until fluid starts to flow. If fluid fails to flow, close valve and build pressure properly again (step 1). Also ensure the reservoir has enough fluid in the proper level range. 3) Once fluid is flowing to the bleeder hose/bottle without much air bubbles, close valve and check reservoir to ensure level hasn't dropped below min line. 4) Proceed to pump clutch and see if pressure builds. If not, open bleeder valve and do SLOW full pumps, maybe 3-6, then check bleeder hose again to ensure fluid is flowing. Close valve, then pump clutch pedal to see if pressure has built enough. Once I had enough pressure to barely get the pedal to kick back and return, then I started up the car to give power to the master cylinder, then pressed the clutch pedal in and out with my foot rapidly to build pressure. Pedal now returns as normal, plenty of pressure :) if not enough, open bleeder valve and let air bubbles continue to escape until fluid flows freely to the bleeder bottle, then close valve, pump clutch pedal to test and build pressure..

Thank you for this. I was not able to get the new clutch bled until I tried your procedure. Thank you! Saved the day.

Thank you for sharing. It helped me.

Thank you very much Sir. I will have to try this out since I have some pedal issues: Sometimes it returns slowly and sometimes stuck at 1/3 of the way and when I return it in upward position it usually start to work normal; sometimes for weeks without issues but eventually it starts again... Brake fluid is topped off but I don't think that car clutch has ever been bleeded. I know that brakes were bleeded and new fliud changed but clutch bleed valve was never touched. Passat B8 2015. Looks same as Golf MK7 from your video. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing. It helped me to resolve my issue.

thanx man my clutch pedal is strong.👍

Awesome 👏

I never imagined that 10 sausages would one day show me how to bleed my clutch. Thanks to all of you!

Hi there . I had to fit a new starter motor in the dark . Unfortunately I didn't realise this pipe was the clutch pipe dummy . So I unclipped it to make it easier to tighten up starter motor bolt . I didn't realise fluid was leaking 😳 I attached the pipe and realise cluch peddle was at bottom position. I hope this video will help me ?

Great video thank you.

Your videos are so informative, it's awesome! Quick question, I have a 2009 Volkswagen GTI with 183,000 (she's an old girl) and the clutch seems to stick/slow to return. Would you say this bleeding procedure would solve/alleviate the issue? Again, thanks for the videos!!

Don’t forget to top up the reservoir which ever method you use

Also can I ask does break and cluch work off same master cylinder?

I wondered where the slave was .. Under the battery of course.. the ford dealer told me the gear box must come out .. as soon as I see a flash workshop I see a telephone number for a bill coming my way

I keep getting to about 5:30 and then all of a sudden. I just fucking lose all of my pressure. This shit is driving me up a goddamn wall.

Brand new slave and throw out. Trust me there’s no issues. Pedal to floor. I’ve pumped and bled 23 times now. Clutch still dead. What do I do.

After a day of changing a gearbox in a driveway, and feeling excited to get it done... running your intro music was pretty harsh. Just saying. No good for me tho... Rwd here.

Does this gearbox have slave cylinder?

Where is it located on mk7 golf TDI?

This procedure is wrong. You have to pump the clutch while the bleeder is closed then open it and push the pedal to the floor then close it again

Pretty sure that extremely annoying intro music put many people off watching this video any further as it did me
