hi peeps i have had a look but no luck in finding what tool i need to bleed my clucth fuild
 
What car?

If its an s3 then all you need is a 9mm spanner for the slave cylinder bleed nipple. If its an A3 then itl be the same or maybe an 11mm? Been a while since ive done one of those... None the less just basic tools
 
sorry i was rushing when i wrote this post its a a3 and its a external slave cylinder in the hanyes book it tells me i need to have a vacum sort of tool so should i just undone the nipple and pump the clucth
 
Yep just bleed the circuit using the pedal whilst opening the nipple.
 
you can buy a bleeding pot from halfords about £5.

just slack off the nipple get someone to pump the clutch pedal until no air bubbles comes out then to the nipple up. top up fluid if needed

simple job
 
still loads of air and i have put 1L of fluid in this is doing my head in
 
Pressure bleeder is the answer here then, theyre reasonably cheap £15ish iirc. Will have it done in a few minutes
