How do you bleed your Audi tt cluch slave cylinder?

Bleeding the clutch slave cylinder on an Audi TT is a relatively straightforward process. Here are the steps involved:

1. Park your car on a level surface and turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood of your car and locate the clutch slave cylinder. It is usually located near the transmission.

3. Clean the area around the slave cylinder to prevent any dirt or debris from entering the system.

4. Remove the cover from the brake fluid reservoir, located under the hood of the car.

5. Connect a clear plastic tube to the bleeder screw on the clutch slave cylinder. Submerge the other end in the brake fluid reservoir.

6. Have a friend or helper press down on the clutch pedal and hold it down.

7. Open the bleeder screw on the clutch slave cylinder. Brake fluid will start to flow through the tube and into the reservoir.

8. Close the bleeder screw when bubbles no longer appear in the brake fluid.

9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until the brake fluid is flowing clear and free of bubbles.

10. Top up the brake fluid reservoir to the correct level, as indicated by the markings on the reservoir.

11. Close the cover on the brake fluid reservoir.

12. Start the engine and test the clutch to make sure it is working properly.

Note: If you are unable to bleed the clutch slave cylinder yourself, you can take your car to a qualified mechanic to have it done.
