DRH Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Is the standard Comma DOT4 clutch & brake fluid OK? Attempting to change the clutch fluid, has anyone any good tips on how to bleed the system, sounds like the bleed nipple is a nightmare to deal with. Researched the subject and numerous ideas came up so more confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRH Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hi Johnathan Comma Dot 4 previously, Yes had a look at the assembly guide, does the pipe you attach to the bleed nipple just hang down into a jar with fluid in, or is it best to have it up higher than the reservoir when depressing the clutch.

DRH Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just one more thing, after removing any air bubbles from the system, can you just remove the pipe and then close the bleed nipple or do you have to close it while the pipe is still attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thank you for the advice All done bleeding the clutch, gear change is a little smoother now, very simple process with a clutch & break kit(£5.99), although space to maneuver is limited on the sigma. If anyone needs help let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
