clutch bleeding..before or after brakes - steveo3002
ok i changed a caliper and have now got spongey brakes and a wierd clutch( only bled the one caliper so far)

so i know the sequence for doing the 4 wheels bleeding , but when do i do the clutch or doesnt it matter when?

it shares the resovuior with the brakes , and has what i believe is called a master cly( bit attached to pedal) and the slave (attached to g/box) , id also like to know what order theyre are bled in ?

i dont have a manual as its a rare factory made g60 1991 golf and most golfs had the cable cltuch

Yes ago on a Hillman Imp I had a shared resevoir and work on the brakes upset the clutch, so it is probalaly best to do brakes first, then the clutch, especially as the clutch only has one simple circuit.
