Well done the best bleeding flashing video that is out there plus you did tell us the sequence I have done this on a Zafira but just needed to brush up on a Corsa well done sir
Hello, great video man. I have a question, there is any risk to bleed the clutch? Could it just break or does it happen if the component is already broken?
Well, it's known that (very) old clutch master or slave cylinders have a tendency to break down exactly when you attempt to do a flush. This is exactly what happened in my case with the master cylinder at the pedal and why I made the video with its replacing. But if the components are still in good shape, there's little risk.
To get this straight with the clutch part. Can I bleed clutch with help second person just like it was with breakes? In steps: 1) Open plastic nut, 2) Press the clutch until the brakefluid will change colour for the new one (with checking the level of the brakefluid in the reservoir), 3) Close plastic nut, 4) We are done with it.
Yes, you can bleed the clutch with the help of a second person, but the steps should be the following: (1) the helper presses on the clutch pedal a few times and holds it down on the last press, (2) you open the plastic nut and let some fluid out, (3) you close the plastic nut, (4) the helper releases the clutch pedal, and then you repeat steps (1) - (4) as many times as needed. If you open the nut only once as you suggested, then every time the helper releases the pedal you will have air and old fluid being sucked back into the system, which won't help you at all. And remember to always top up with fresh fluid as the old one is being removed.
I don't know for sure, but it should be the same reservoir, just like it is for our Corsa. But it's very easy to do a visual check - in the area where the brake fluid reservoir is (rear-right from the engine itself), if you see only one reservoir then that's used for both clutch and brakes. On the other hand, if there are 2 reservoirs (unlikely), then one is for the clutch and the other is for the brakes.
I used same fluid in my car (Insignia grand sport) but after that flushing when I full press on brake pedal its starting squeze noise. Did you have same sound after this fluid change ?
No, but I don't think the new fluid is the cause of the noise. In my case, for example, the clutch master cylinder simply went out when I changed the fluid (which I understand is a common occurrence for old parts), so I needed to replace it. Do you have any fluid leaks anywhere? Are you sure you didn't introduce air into the system during the bleeding?
@TheMissingBolt no problem. Your way how to explain just unbelievable. You should have over millions subscribers. I m sure you will get there.just keep the good work going
The actual fluid change at each wheel can be done with the engine off. You should turn the engine on at the very end, when everything has been tightened to spec, in order to verify that the normal brake system pressure doesn't cause leaks (i.e. when the pedal brake force is also multiplied by the brake booster, which uses engine vacuum).
@@nunogoncalves24 If you open any of the bleeder valves sufficiently, you should be able to press the pedal normally and have fluid come out of the valve while the engine is off, just as I showed in the video. If neither valve is sufficiently open, it's normal for the pedal to be hard to press with the engine off. If, on the other hand, a valve is open and you're still having trouble pressing the pedal, then there's probably something wrong with the brake system (i.e. there's an obstruction somewhere)...
@@TheMissingBolt Hello friend, thanks for responding. But I just have one more question, should I put something behind the brake pedal so it doesn't go all the way? I saw some videos that do this. I hope you understand. Thank you very much.
@@nunogoncalves24 I understand. Indeed, there is the risk of excessive twist on the brake booster or brake master cylinder seals if the pedal travels too far. You can put something behind it temporarily as you do the bleeding if it makes you feel comfortable, as long as you're left with enough pedal travel to actually push fluid out. Just remember to remove that thing from behind the pedal when you're done 😁
That's pretty much what happened to me as well ... and it ended up being the clutch master cylinder that failed completely and needed replacement. I've finished replacing it and should post the video with the operation in a week or so. Stay tuned 😁
Hi, i am about to change the brake fluid. For the clutch fluid it is first time to change. The clutch is working fine. Is there the risk to happen the same? Thank you

Thank you, I'm glad you found my video useful!
Fantastic video, very helpful thank you
@@Yatesss11 You’re very welcome!
Brilliant explanation thank you
Glad you liked it!
Great job well explained
Thank you very much!
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
You're welcome!

HI, With regards to brake/clutch bleeding. Are both the same reservior unit for the Opel Adam 1.4 Xer 2016 petrol. Or is there seperate reserviors.
I don't know for sure, but it should be the same reservoir, just like it is for our Corsa. But it's very easy to do a visual check - in the area where the brake fluid reservoir is (rear-right from the engine itself), if you see only one reservoir then that's used for both clutch and brakes.

@@TheMissingBolt Many thanks for the reply.

Hello friend, how are you?
Do you know the part number of the water pump?
Thank you.
Hello! Based on the VIN number for my particular Corsa and the A14XER engine, the water pump genuine GM part number is 95524738.
bleeder screw to brake calliper front or rear torque 10 NM , bleeder screw to wheel brake cylinder 6 NM
Excellent! Thank you very much for the info!
@TheMissingBolt no problem. Your way how to explain just unbelievable. You should have over millions subscribers. I m sure you will get there.just keep the good work going
so the clutch and the brakefluid all come from the same reserviour in the car ?
Yes.
Hello, you do this with the car on or off?

@@TheMissingBolt But with the car off, the pedal becomes hard. It doesn't go down.

What if when I bleed the clutch part the reservoir doesn't lower and the clutch just pushed out dark fluid but doesn't "pop" back up?
That's pretty much what happened to me as well ... and it ended up being the clutch master cylinder that failed completely and needed replacement. I've finished replacing it and should post the video with the operation in a week or so. Stay tuned 😁

@@trigonul I would like to know too. Did you changed it? There is any risk?
