[Mk2] [Generic] Oil in clutch system?...

Post by Drifter »

My clutch felt slightly weird last week, so i finally get it checked out, as the reservoir was low.

Simple flush and re-fill & bleed right?

No, some idiot who serviced my clutch last has put engine oil in there? ](*,)

So now the whole system is ruined, never going to get the oil out, they tried there best to flush it out but it's still there.

Rant over.

WTF? :?

Flush properly, including dismantling master and slave cylinder assemblies. Refill, bleed. Job done.
