Bleeding clutch???

Lads how do you bleed a clutch on a 325i se. Thanks in advance

Either get one of those one way bleeding valves and attach it to the nipple under the nearside of the car, just behind the engine, or get a mate to help you.

Mine was a real bugger to do and the pedal was only good about half way down (using the 2 man procedure). However, it's since magically bled itself so who's complaining

I need to do this as the master cylinder on the cab has given up and only works on alternate tuesdays. It's an easy job really - just make sure you get rid of all the air in the fluid and that you keep the resevior topped up oterwise you think all the air has gone only to find youve run out of fluid and sucked a load more in!

It is well worth buying a pressure bleeding kit for this, only about a tenner.. it attaches to the tyre valve and automatically bleeds for you!!!

Just swapped the clutch master cylinder on my 318.. Doing the swap wasn't a problem but fook me bleeding it was. With all the gismo's in place and pumping the clutch the resevior would go down by about 2mm then rise back up again. Gave up in the end. The clutch seemed ok with a nice bite point. Been driving it for around a month now and I've had no probs whatsoever.

Apparentyl BM found bleeding these a complete bitch aswell..

easiest way in my opion and cheap too.
to do you will need.
brake fluid
coke bottle
a windscreen washer rubber hose off a wrecker
put a drop of breakfluid into the bottle. put the hose onto the bleed nipple and the other end below the level of the fluid that u put in the bottle. fill the resevoir. then open the bleed nipple and pump the pedal slowly until you are gettin no bubbles into the bottle. then close the nipple and remove the pipe. with a long enough hose can be done on your own. also works for brakes. just make sure the reservoir stays topped up. hope this helps
