Mr Elsie Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Would the change in weather have any impact on the clutch fluid. I've checked for leaks in the obvious places and found none. I then bled the system and noticed quite a lot of air bubbles in the system and the fluid was black. Seems ok now but odd that I've not been able to find any leaks.

Richard B Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Black normally means a rubber seal has perished at some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I agree, usually an indication of a seal wearing out! Brake/clutch fluid should be completely changed every 2 years! But how many actually do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Elsie Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Master cylinder seal kits seem to be readily available for about £3.50. Are they easy enough to fit? Any tips on what to do first would be appreciated. Is it just a matter of bleeding the system first and then taking the master cylinder to bits.
