Paul hughes Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hiya can anyone advise me if the clutch can be bled on the 2.0 td4? My local garage said no you buy the complete master cylinder pre filled and it plugs on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hi there.... I don't know Freelanders but I've seen a lot of hydraulic systems on a lot of cars.... EVERY master cylinder I've seen new comes empty.... No fluid included. By the nature of the system, you will break the pipework open to fit the new parts and then need to bleed the system through to remove air. With that in mind, if the system is not leaking it should only need bleeding if the fluid is old and has absorbed water over time or a change of an element has let air in. Why do you think it needs bleeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I once had a Peugeot (I think) where replacement clutch hydraulics came complete and pre filled - ie there was a master cylinder, a length of pipe and a slave cylinder to be fitted as a unit. There was no screw cap - just a sort of pressed on thing IIRC. I know nothing about Freelanders so forgive me if this is irrelevant, but sealed (pre-filled) clutch hydraulic systems do exist.
