Hydraulic Clutch Bleeding

[Husky_Dog]

Good morning All,

Quick question regarding Hydraulic Clutch Bleeding and / or fluid replacement - is it required on the Megane or Scenic models?

Having changed the fluid in the brake lines a couple of times now. I am wondering if the clutch needs to have the fluid replaced or bled on the same interval? The Haynes doesn't mention this specifically, and I would like to know if by changing the brake fluid I am in fact carrying out enough preventative maintenance on the hydraulic clutch system?

Any tips or advice welcome as always.

Will.

No need to have a hissy fit. Bleed the brakes in the sequence shown in the Haynes manual. Use new fluid. By the time you have done the entire circuit, the little that is left in the clutch line will be diluted out in the new. Kein problem!

Some of us that post answers regularly might have had other things to do over the last few days.
