WARNING
Whenever the clutch pedal switch piston is com-
pletely removed, the switch must be replaced.
WARNING
The switch must be replaced if handling of the
piston results in three adjustments being made.
Note:
The clutch pedal switch has an automatic adjust-
ment feature, adapting to the pedal position.
The automatic adjustment makes a clicking noise
when in operation.

I - PRECAUTIONS DURING REPAIR
Risks relating to contamination.
aThe hydraulic clutch system is very sensitive to con-
tamination. The risks caused by contamination are:
-impossible to change gears,
-damage to or destruction of the clutch system,
-leaks on the hydraulic circuit.
All the operations on the hydraulic clutch circuit sys-
tem must be carried out under excellent cleanliness
conditions. This ensures that no impurities enter the
hydraulic circuit during the operation.
The cleanliness principles apply to all components
of the hydraulic clutch circuit.
Items causing contamination are:
-metal or plastic swarf,
-fibres:
•cardboard,
•brushes,
•paper,
•clothing,
•cloth,
•dust and particles in the air,
•etc.
Cleaning cloths.
aUse lint-free cleaning cloths (see Products recom-
mended for the repair) (04B, Consumables - Prod-
ucts).
Each cloth must only be used once.There are two types of equipment used to bleed the
clutch circuit:
aARC50 via the brake fluid reservoir.
aSyringe via the bleed hole located on the clutch
slave cylinder.
There are two procedures used to bleed the clutch
circuit:
aIf no parts of the hydraulic clutch circuit are remo-
ved:
-Carry out the bleed operation using the ARC50 via
the brake fluid reservoir or using a new syringe via
the bleed hole located on the clutch slave cylinder.
aIf no parts of the hydraulic clutch circuit are remo-
ved:
-Only carry out the bleed operation using a new sy-
ringe by injecting the brake fluid via the bleed hole
on the clutch slave cylinder.
Consumables required for the repair:
aBleed the clutch circuit using approved (see Vehi-
cle: Parts and consumables for the repair) brake
fluid (04B, consumables - products).
II - PREPARATION OPERATION
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
aRemove the engine undertray. Equipment required
brake circuit bleeding device
hydraulic circuit bleed syringe
Note:
-Even the tiniest air bubble in the circuit can
cause faulty operation (pedal failing to return
properly, crunching sound when changing gear,
etc.).
-Incorrect bleeding can lead to incorrect detec-
tion of faults and unnecessary part replace-
ments.

III - BLEED PROCEDURE IF NO PARTS OF THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT ARE REMOVED
1 - Bleed using the ARC50.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.aConnect the brake circuit bleeding device (after
having received Renault approval) to the master cyl-
inder reservoir (see the instructions for the equip-
ment).
aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe to the bleed hole running
to an empty container placed under the bleed hole.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aOpen the circuit between the bleeding device and
the brake fluid reservoir.
aLet the brake fluid run until all air bubbles have been
released.
aStop the bleeding device to dump the pressure in the
clutch circuit.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir after disconnecting the bleed device.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal
switch: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) (37A,
mechanical control elements).

2 - Bleed using a new syringe.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.
aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe of sufficient length to the
bleed hole (at least thirty centimetres) in order to
place it at the same height as the reservoir.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aFill the brake fluid master cylinder reservoir until
brake fluid flows out of the bleed screw.
aConnect a new hydraulic circuit bleed syringe
filled with a useful volume of 60 ml of approved
brake fluid to the end of the transparent pipe.
aSlowly inject the entire contents of the syringe into
the hydraulic clutch circuit without injecting any of
the air from the top section of the syringe.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal
switch: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) (37A,
mechanical control elements).IV - BLEED PROCEDURE IF PARTS OF THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT ARE REMOVED.
a
Note:
Take care not to disrupt the adjustment of the
clutch start of travel switch.
Note:
The transparent pipe must remain at the same
height as the master cylinder reservoir to prevent
air from entering inside the clutch circuit.
WARNING
The master cylinder pipe must be disconnected
from its take-off point on the br ake fluid reservoir,
to avoid any foreign matter penetrating inside the
hydraulic brake circuit.
WARNING
Prepare for the fl ow of fluid and protect the sur-
rounding components.
Note:
Prefill the hydraulic circuit pipe equipped with a
filter.
Position the filter head facing downwards to
ensure that it fills.
