Subject:Bleeding Brakes & Clutch?
From:Tim Vogelin
Date:Mon, 8 Nov 1999 17:56:53 -0600

This weekend I am changing my back brake pads and am planning on replacing
the brake fluid while I am at it.  The Bentley manual gives amounts of fluid
to drain out of each cylinder but it doesn't mention anything about the
clutch system.  Am I correct that the brakes and the clutch share the same
fluid and I should have to drain some from the clutch cylinder also?  Which
order should I bleed the clutch in?  After the two rear brakes or what?  I
don't have a pressure bleeder or any of that nice stuff so would I bleed the
clutch the same old fashioned way as bleeding the brakes?  The Bentley
doesn't say much about the clutch system and the two together so I figured
someone might have experienced this themselves and could help me out.
Thanks.   Tim Vogelin    84' Wolfsburg.
