Thank you so much🙏 finaly i found WTF is the actuator in my car.

In the UK most of the dealerships they don’t even know what clutch actuator fluid is.Please move to London Uk we need you here😂

Finally! Thank You so much!! This is so valuable and saving me time and $$$. Most KIA dealerships in the NY/NJ/PA areas have no idea what the clutch fluid even is. I hope you put out more how-to videos to maintain Niros. Thanks a million!

In the late winter on 18/19 I took my niro in for this service. The dealer knew nothing about it. They had to look it up for the process and cost. So in 2 years they had never done this on any cars. First service $60, 2nd $160. Then I figured out I could get more than what you showed with a manual brake bleeder and a small hose that would fit inside the rubber hose all the way down. I have 2 niros, 15 minutes both are done.

Thank You. I appreciate each and every video of Yours.

I just used your video and was able to successfully change my actuator fluid. Some things to note: the 12 or so round clips on the big bottom panel are easily removed by prying up on the very top part of the clip closest to you with a screwdriver. Also I did struggle somewhat getting the two 12mm bolts off the reservoir at first. I needed a 2 or 3” extension and had to start with the easier one towards the driver’s side first. Then I was able to rotate the reservoir a bit to barely squeeze my way in with the extension and successfully remove the other screw. Then when reinstalling I put them back in the reverse order. The first screw went back in fairly easy but lining up the reservoir with that other driver’s side screw took a bit because there’s no way to see if you’re lined up. All in all it wasn’t too bad and I thank you for making this video! I might’ve given up and brought it to the dealer without your help!

Great video!!! I’m watching it for my Niro.

this actuator fluid should be on that one page of fluids maintenance such as oil, coolant etc on ioniq manual…I think Hyundai really did this purposely for business purposes of repair and replacements…anyway this blog by Jose is very helpful…

Thanks brother. You saved me.

Thank you, Jose. Just used your video.

I need both my hands. Love it.

Thank you I wish more explanation Hyundai Ioniq💛

Great info.

Muchas gracias José por tu gran ayuda, eres el único que muestra como cambiar el líquido del embrague. Un saludo.

Thanks for information.

This is very helpful for the 2018 Kia Niro. Similar platform. The actuator reservoir for this year was relocated higher up in the engine bay. More accessible.

great video as always thank you for sharing

Great video as usual, Thanks for sharing Bro👍 Stay Safe👍

Very helpful

I am very grateful to you for your beautiful videos. Now I want to explain to you my topic, which is, in short, when it jerks and turns when straightening to the top, it is very annoying. Based on your beautiful videos, I changed the clutch fluid, but I did not finish the problem... The question is do I have to replace it? The liquid in the barrel and the actuator that is connected to the clutch fluid reservoir, or do I have to replace the fluid in the reservoir only more than once in order for the fluid to be renewed automatically, and is the issue of the shaker from the actuator originally meaning that it is not suitable, or is it after changing the fluid that it becomes better, and is there a relationship between the fluid The brake that is in the brake tank and the abs in general has something to do with this issue and the vibration in general. This is my personal belief, because if the brake is fully trampled on, I feel that it has been disconnected. necessary.

You didn't mention it but the clutch fluid does have a service interval of 22.5k miles. The dealer diagnostic equipment can run a bleed procedure, at the moment 2020 Ioniq clutch bleed isn't covered by Snap Ons SOLUS yet. People who do it this way might want to use a fluid removal tool of some kind to replace the fluid every 3rd oil change instead of 6 cause you are only changing half the fluid and save this clean out for 30k ish (might be tricky for people on the ground). You can get to the cap from the top if you move the fresh air tube, it's not fun but a long funnel will help. Love the video's they have been mighty helpful, cheers.

Smashing my friend

i love this video! Great Class! Does it make any difference what type of brake fluid? DOT 3? 4? 5?

Thanks so much for this. Would any DOT4 brake fluid work or is there one recommended for the Ioniq?

Im a new 2019 Ionic owner. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm the second owner so I will get this taken care of right away.

Do you need to bleed the system for the engine clutch actuator?

Very nice . Thanks Maybe you can do guid for more IONIQ maintenance. Thanks

Hi there. First of all thanks for sharing (got a Ioniq so new subscriber ;) Was wandering what are the symptoms of a bad clutch actuator? I have a clicking/clonking noise and it seems like is every time when it switches from petrol to electric and vice-versa as well as when pulling away from stationary or slowing right down at slow speeds. Could that be it?

God jab

Fantastic video as usual! I was wondering if you had to perform an air removal after taking out the actuator fluid reservoir as air has got into the hose? I'm looking to get my Ioniq fully serviced DIY and your videos are helping so much; what I'd love to see next is how to change the HSG belt, Brake fluid, fuel filter, fuel tank air filter, and spark plugs. Hopefully at some point you'll be able to show us, I can't wait to get it done! Again thanks, and keep up the AWESOME work!

Honda vezel is the same, but there got 2 release bearings, how expensive is it to change those fluids, its a get a 1 liter dot 4 brakes fluid, drain the bottle an pull a vacuum so you can get the oil fluid out from the release bearings, add the new fluid an do the calibration, an bleed procedure with a high tech scan tool.

We need a video on the transmission/clutch/actuator system for the Honda Vezel 2019.

A Discovery into the unknown. Brilliant explanation and presentation of the subjects. Prevention is better than a co$tly replacement part due to lack of maintenance, not knowing the results of Environmental impact on the parts. I have a late 2016 Auris wagon hybrid, it was high mileage when purchased 4 years ago in cold weather it sometimes makes a grinding noise and clunk at the end of a journey upon leaving the vehicle. Would this noise be the solenoid valve engaging needing some lubrication? Or fluid change. Gen 3 prius technology on board.

انا معجب بتقديمك الرائع و طريقة العرض و عن هذا الشئ بالاخص سؤالي ما هي الطريقه الصحيحه لوضع زيت الكلاتش بالخزان و هل يؤثر اذا تم وضع الزيت مباشره بالخزان بعد التركيب و ما التاثير بالنسبه للهواء الموجود بالخزان او البرببش،لك مني كل الحب و الاحترام.

Great video. I was thinking about getting a Nero BUT this needs to be done every year doesn't sound to good a design to me,. The reservoir has a cap on it. Can it even be seen from the top? Can fluid be added from the top? Seems like a bad design/ The whole dual clutch transmission has made me think twice about a Niro hybrid.

So, can you make a video of the method of changing the brake fluid for the Kia Niro, and do you need to program a computer after the replacement, or is there no need for that..

Thanks again for all your informative videos, awesome help for some of us who know so little about the hybrid vehicle. When replacing the (Brake fluid) would you recommend Dot3 or Dot4? I use Motul 600 for my 6th Camaro as I do track it. You think I can use the same to replace the fluid to the actuator? Thank you in advance

I admire your wonderful presentation and method of presentation, and about this matter in particular, my question is what is the correct way to put the clutch oil in the tank, and does it affect if the oil is put directly in the tank after installation, and what is the effect in relation to the air in the tank or the prybash? You have all my love and respect.

Shout out to TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Hi hose, please tell me what the symptoms are in the car when it has problems with the relay baring. For example I have a 2017 Hyundai ioniq hybrid and for about 6 months my engine was shaking at speeds between 30 50 mph. my question is what are the symptoms of the relay baring problem. Does something appear on the board or is it something mechanical, i.e. the shaking? Thank you very much, I hope you will answer me.

I have a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq, and i want to change out the engine clutch actuator fluid. I’m ready to do what you showed in the video, but I’ve read stuff online about some computer program to suck air out of the engine clutch acuator…or something? Is any of that necessary? I don’t want to deal with any computer programs. Will everything work just fine if I just change out the fluid as shown in your video? Update: Last night, I stuck a turkey baster inside the fluid reservoir and sucked out about half the fluid and refilled the reservoir up to the top with new dot 3 brake fluid. The whole fluid reservoir looks a little cleaner today, and the car is running fine. I plan on doing this again maybe in the next couple days. But next 22k interval, I will take it to the dealer for a full cleanse and flush. They charge $200, and it’s okay once in a while.

Hi, Can you pls post a video with brake bleeding procedure for Kia Niro Hybrid? Thanks!

Hi what a good way you have explained. Really liked it. I just bought 2017 ioniq hybrid, going up hill while shif gear from parking to drive feel hard to moving the lever even press the brake padel all the way down , what could be the reason. Please explained, Regards

Dear Sir, you have a request. If possible, I want to make a video regarding the brake fluid replacement for the Kia Nero Hybrid 2017 quickly, then the method of replacing the clutch fluid from the clutch operator if possible, and does it need after the fluid replacement for the brake and clutch, computer programming work... You have all my respect and Appreciation for your efforts.

Is this the same as a 2020 hyundai ioniq hybrid plug in se??

Muchas gracias por tu vídeo, guaoooo, estuvo super. Una pregunta adicional, es necesario purgar el sistema? Si la respuesta es positiva, como se hace? Necesitaríamos un especializado? scanner

Will a 12 fluid ounce bottle be sufficient to completely refill plastic reservoir ?

👍

if you dont remove air from the sistem with diagnostic tool, isn't the level gonna drop after you start driving and the air is pushed out? Thanks.

Hi .. I love your channel . My Canadian 2018 Ionic was in for 78000km service and I asked the dealer about changing the transmission fluid and the clutch actuator fluid and they recommended I don't need to do it .. any idea why ? Keep up the great work !

Thanks for video. The Kia Niro, even though almost the same, has the reservoir right at top front, not lower like Ioniq. The reason Kia(or Hyundai) charge like $250 for fluid change is because they do a purge procedure with the diagnostic computer that purges the air from system, and other things like checking the position of the resolvers. This air purge is needed for replacement of the clutch actuator. If just changing the fluid, you are not introducing air to system, so it's not needed. What I do is suck the fluid from the reservoir and replace every 10k miles, so it's pretty much changed completely like the 22.5k mile change interval called for in manual. Maybe at some point I will remove reservoir and clean like you did. For now there is no sticky residue, but it definitely gets discolored after even 10k miles. I subscribed to your channel, look forward to your videos.

hola le voy a cambiar el liquido a mi auto ioniq 2019 con 27mil km una pregunta al vaciar el co tenedor del liquido limpiarlo y rellenarlo no queda aire en el sistema o solo sigo tus pasos como lo haces en el video excelente video Te felicito

How often do you change thi fluid?

If you only change the clutch fluid in the reservoir on a Kia Niro, which sits at the top of the engine compartment, it seems to me that you won't get the worst of the fluid which would be sitting down lower around the actuator from what I can tell.....I don't think the fluid circulates at all back to the top so I would have to assume it would have to be drained by bleeding a hose down by the actuator and cycling the actuator with diagnostics software.....?

Many thanks.. what type of fluid should we replace it with? Something like DOT 4? DOT 5?

Which dot fluid is for this car?

When do you feel an improvement in the performance of the clutch player after changing the fluid, meaning does it take time for the results to appear

Does anyone know how many fluid ounces it took to fill plastic reservoir ?

Hi! What tools did you use for displacing 12mm bold from assembly? It was hard to access there with my ratche extension.

Hello sir, if someone told me that the clutch pump must be dismantled and the clutch tank cleaned, then the fluid is removed from it and replaced with a new one, then the air is bleed from it??

Do you use just regular brake fluid? yours is real clear looking. Does Hyundai recommend any?

For 2020 kia niro hybrid they changed the position of the reservoir to the top of the engine bay,so all of this is unnecessary, you just pop the hood and its right there boom 💥 and you just do it from there.

Jose, how did you push out air from the clutch actuator?

Is there a way to actuate the servo motor to pump all fluid from the clutch unit? Without having software that seems unavailable to the normal person.

Super but the liquid inside the mecatronic not change ?

Hello, I have a problem with my Hyundai Ioniq HEV (French, 2016, 60000 Km) I sometime feel « vibrations » while driving. It's pretty regular and I don't know where it can come from. I have the feeling that it could comes from a slipping clutch !? If I understood correctly there are several clutches in this car, two in the gearbox and one between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor. I've never felt this vibration while in electric mode, it's only when the ICE is running. The vibration often occurs uphill at low speed and high gear (5th or 6th), I don't think I've ever heard it downhill. It occurs between 50 km/h and 120 km/h, above and below these speeds I don't think I've ever heard it. I'm afraid it will damage something, I'm going to make an appointment with my dealer but I know they always struggle finding this kind of random problem. That's why I would like to evaluate before where it can come from. One thing important, in manual gear mode, when the problem occurs, I see the rev counter which varies and rises a little in the revs ! I guess this proves that the engine is running a little faster as if the clutch is slipping ? When i bought the car, the clutch fluid had bever been changed. As I was having this problem, I replaced the fluid (folowing your great advices !! 😊) but it didn't change anything. It seems there is a need to "reset the learning process" after changing the clutch fluid, can you tell me how we can do this and, do you think not resetting the learning process could explain why my problem persists? Does anybody have ever encounter this kind of problem and do you know where it can comes from ? Thanks for any help.

Being that the fluid circulates, could you simply siphon out the fluid, or use a turkey baster, every 20k miles or so? I have a 2021 Kia Niro with 17k miles on it and the "techs" don't understand the actuator fluid. I've asked about changing it per the owner's manual and they just look at me like I have three heads.

Hi! I have a jerk, a power outage on the low speed electric Hyundai ioniq hybrid! Do you have any idea what it might be?

Hi mate what software you use to bleed the air out from actuator. Please let me know

Is it possible to pump if my tank is clean? And fill a new liquid?

Pls help ! I have a problem with a Hyundai Ioniq 2018 EV Only in EV, at 10-20 km h, the car jerks after releasing the brake pedal, Check Hybrid System appears The error code is U1011 Lost communication with HCA by HCU

Where are youlocated

How often should I change my actuator

Is it necessary to change the fluid? Because my mechanic says it's not mandatory, and where can there be a leak? Because I see that there is moisture ..

How to fix u1011 code

I am writing from Turkey. My car is 2018 ioniq. dct hybrid. Oil came from the hole at the bottom of the transmission. what would be the reason. I would be happy if you help. Can you give me an email to which I can send the relevant photo?

Hey can you post you shop address I have a 2016 nissan hybrid Xtrail thanks

Chang it ever 30k miles??

The cost for failure is high. Over $2,000

Can i have your mail plz i have some question

Hi Does this method in the video require a scanner? I asked my local mechanic who is honest and has fair pricing and he watched the video. He asked if this requires a factory scanner? What’s is your instagram account? FYI my dealership doesn’t even do this. They were clueless

Hello sir, if someone told me that the clutch pump must be dismantled and the clutch tank cleaned, then the fluid is removed from it and replaced with a new one, then the air is bleed from it??
