Replacing & bleeding sigma clutch fluid

[DRH]

Is the standard Comma DOT4 clutch & brake fluid OK?

Attempting to change the clutch fluid, has anyone any good tips on how to bleed the system, sounds like the bleed nipple is a nightmare to deal with.

Researched the subject and numerous ideas came up so more confused.

Have you got the Assembly Guide and Handbook for your 7. Let me know if not.

Do you know what was used previously?

Hi Johnathan

Comma Dot 4 previously, Yes had a look at the assembly guide, does the pipe you attach to the bleed nipple just hang down into a jar with fluid in, or is it best to have it up higher than the reservoir when depressing the clutch.

Just one more thing, after removing any air bubbles from the system, can you just remove the pipe and then close the bleed nipple or do you have to close it while the pipe is still attached

Thank you for the advice

All done bleeding the clutch, gear change is a little smoother now, very simple process with a clutch & break kit(£5.99), although space to maneuver is limited on the sigma.

If anyone needs help let me know.
