E30 Clutch

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Went to take the car to work this morning.

I have not driven it for over a week.

I changed the fuses on the weekend and also recharged the battery last night

this morning when i started the car it started fine, BUT the clutch went ALL the way in very easily. It was like it had no pressure... any thoughts?

Did it still disengage (ie, can you still drive)? Still have fluid in the reservoir?

And if this is the case, putting more fluid in isn't going to help!

It does sound like either the clutch master or slave has failed, or the line.

It's not the windscreen washer fluid - you need to do more than fill it up. It will need bleeding - a two person job.

Since you don't already know this, I am a little hesitant telling you how to do it, since I think there is a problem with either the clutch master or slave, and trying to bleed a faulty hydraulic system is doomed to failure (and its hard enough the first time you do it when everything works well).
