zacon 0 Posted November 19, 2005 I have a couple of questions. I've understood that the clutch fluid reservoir is right by the brake fluid reservoir. Should I use standard DOT4 brake fluid for the clutch? There's a fluid reservoir near the intercooler and battery. What goes in there? I don't have the service handbook. Thanks.

Supercharged 2 Posted November 19, 2005 The brake and clutch reservoir are the same, there is a line to the clucth MC from it so never let it get low... yes Dot 4 is the stuff. The other one is for the power steering, make sure only the green VW fluid goes in here - VW racks don't like the red ATF fluid that is used in other cars power steering systems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zacon 0 Posted November 19, 2005 I have replaced the whole engine in the car. I have been very careful to put everything back like it was with the old one. I'm a little confused and nervous. My Corrado is equiped with a Rotrex compressor by the previous owner. I have a fluid reservoir to the left of the compressor, where the original air filter would go, that says "POWER STEERING." I suppose now that this reservoir was fitted when the compressor was replaced. The lower outlet on it goes to the compressor. I somehow thought this reservoir was both power steering and compressor oil. I was gonna fill the clutch fluid reservoir, then bleed the clutch. Do I need to bleed the brakes aswell? I'm afraid I had standard, red, power steering fluid in the compressor fluid reservoir. Is this really, really bad, what should I've had in there? I haven't started the engine with the compressor yet, but I did start the engine right after I put it in there, only just to see if it was running. I probably shouldn't have done that without clutch fluid. I'll get power steering fluid from the local VAG service center on monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
