Title: bleeding clutch
Post by reverand_norm on Jun 23^rd, 2005, 5:13pm

>:(
Hi all can anyone help me on this one - 1995 2.5td scorpio flexible cluch pipe burst,the one thats in the engine bay close to the scuttle v.tight bend,(stupid design),conecting the two rigid pipes,one from behind the brake servo,through the flexipipe,then another rigid pipe that disapears into the bell housing.
now heres the problem,when the hose burst the clutch pedal shot to the floor and stayed there,pull it back by hand,touch it shootsa to floor and stays there again.OK change the burst pipe,top up the fluid, pull the pedal back,touch it again-same result shoots to the floor and stays there.
Does anyone have a cure? if it needs bleeding(im sure it does has anyone any feedback on this - i.e best method - where the bleed screw is etc.
any and all help appreciated.
.thanks reverand norm
