good afternoon guys,
after fitting a new clutch master and slave cylinder to my 300tdi i am now in the process of bleeding the system. after several attempts at convential bleeding i opted to try a pressure bleeding kit,the system is getting slightly better and i can now drive short distances but has anyone else had a problem with how long this takes?
it is costing me a fortune in clutch fluid,(well about £20 worth) i heard you're not to re-use the fluid once its been through the system.

try pinching the rubber pipe, you should get a solid pedel.
