Introduction
While all Mk I Mondeos (except for maybe some of the very latest ones prior to the Mk II release) have a mechanical clutch assembly, Mk II and onwards are hydraulic. If you've at any point disconnected the clutch hydraulics, this needs bleeding, in order to get the air out of the system.
Tools
- A one-man brake/clutch bleeding kit, like Mityvac, Vacula, or Gunson Ezibleed.
These instructions are based on experience with Ezibleed, which is commonly sold at Halfords.
- A slightly overpressured spare tyre.
Method
- Bring the spare tyre out, and put it down in front of the car.
- Pop the hood, and locate the following components:
- Brake fluid reservoir.
- Clutch bleeder valve.
- Fill the bottle in the kit with clean brake fluid, DOT4, and screw its cap on.
