How to bleed the clutch on a Great Wall H6?
2 Answers
Here are the methods for bleeding the clutch master cylinder of a Great Wall H6: 1. Manual Bleeding Method: Step on the clutch pedal repeatedly by pressing down and releasing. When you feel resistance while pressing the pedal, use a wrench to loosen the bleeder screw on the booster to release air. Tighten the bleeder screw after bleeding, and repeat this process several times until all air is removed from the hydraulic line. 2. Assisted Bleeding Method: Use a suitable length of rubber hose, connecting one end to an air source and the other end to the vent hole on the reservoir cap. Use air pressure to bleed the system. During bleeding, first attach a transparent plastic tube to the bleeder screw on the booster, with the other end of the tube directed into a clean container. The air pressure should not exceed 300 kPa to avoid damaging the reservoir. Then, loosen the bleeder screw on the booster to release air. 3. Mechanical Bleeding Method: Perform this on a dedicated clutch bleeding machine, which has two suitable-length hoses. Connect the fuel supply hose to the reservoir port and the return hose to the bleeder screw on the booster. Press the start button to activate the oil pump, which will quickly push the hydraulic oil through the system to remove all air from the hydraulic line. Tighten the bleeder screw and remove the hoses to complete the bleeding process. After bleeding the clutch hydraulic line, regardless of the method used, ensure the reservoir is filled to 4/5 of its capacity. Refill if necessary.
I often deal with car clutch bleeding issues, here's a practical method. For the Great Wall H6, you'll need a bottle of suitable clutch fluid, a wrench, and a friend to assist. The process is: First park the car on level ground and turn off the engine, locate the bleed screw on the clutch slave cylinder, usually near the small wheel. Have your friend sit in the driver's seat while you crouch under the car and carefully loosen the screw with the wrench; your friend should immediately press the clutch pedal all the way down and hold it. You'll see fluid with bubbles flowing out. When the flow stabilizes, quickly tighten the screw, then your friend can release the pedal. Repeat this procedure 3-5 times until clean, bubble-free fluid comes out. Monitor the fluid reservoir level throughout to prevent it from getting too low and allowing air back in. After bleeding, test drive the car - if the pedal feels lighter, you've succeeded. Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands and use a container to catch waste fluid to avoid pollution.
