Re: [Mk2] [Generic] bleeding clutch with pressure bleeder

I had same problem but i wasnt using a pressure bleeder. Was getting some movement but not enough I just kept at it (couple of hours stress) and it finally came good. Try it without the pressure bleeder and with a mate and open and close bleed nipple on every push + pull.

Re: HAS MY TURBO GONE!!! :(

The white smoke and the loss of coolant sounds like head gasket problems.Check under filler cap for white gunk and sludge, also check the oil colour for any milkyness and the water for any darkening and sludge. Only the oil loss points to turbo problems but I dont think that is your problem. Not sur...

stupid owner, oil everywhere
