Hydraulic clutch release drive system (Opel Omega B)

Warning: When bleeding, use only new hydraulic fluid.

Before starting pumping, check all pipes and connections for reliability.

Location of the bleed valve



The bleed valve is located on the right side of the gearbox.

The main method of pumping

1. Fill the reservoir with new hydraulic fluid.

2. Remove the cap from the bleeder valve. Place a hose on the valve and lower the other end of the hose into the hydraulic fluid.

3. Ask an assistant to depress the clutch pedal. Open the bleed valve and drain the fluid. Close the valve. Release the clutch pedal.

4. Repeat this operation until there are no air bubbles left in the flowing liquid.

Bleeding using a one-way valve kit

1. The rubber tube of such a kit has a one-way valve that prevents air and old hydraulic fluid from getting back into the system. The kit may also include a container for collecting old hydraulic fluid.

2. After connecting the kit to the bleed valve, open the valve. Smoothly depress the clutch pedal and slowly release it. Repeat this operation until all air is removed from the hydraulic system.

Bleeding using a pressure bleeding kit

With the pressure bleeding kit connected to the hydraulic fluid reservoir, bleeding the system is as simple as opening the bleed valve to drain the old hydraulic fluid and release air.

All methods

After bleeding is complete, rinse off any spilled hydraulic fluid, tighten the bleeder valve securely, and install the cap on it. Check the hydraulic fluid level again.
