All was going well AND THEN...

Depends if it was the pump or the motor.....

*Update*

New pipe ordered and delivered £32.00, will fit this on the weekend - I shouldn't need the SD/2/3 for the bleed as have the clutch pipe can be easily disconnected, so when I prime the F1 pump (open/shut the door) and select through the gears it (should) self bleed, I'll probably use a little more oil this way though, call it the 'old fashioned way'.

Cheers lads

How on earth are you going to get air out of the EV2 line (which controls the engagement of the gears) by bleeding the clutch line?

The actuator is not self bleeding and needs to be removed from the gearbox to loosen the three bleed screws before the SD3 is used to actuate the bleeding sequence. Once the actuator is re-attached you need to perform a self learn.

After replacing EV5 Pipe:

1. Make sure battery fully charged.

2. Fill with new fluid to near top.

3. Power switch on.

4. Pump will prime/pressurise.

5. Check Oil level - fill to near top again.

6. Vacuum bleed from bleed nipple near gearbox/clutch quick disconnect whilst cycling though all gears with engine off. System will prevent too many changes to protect pump. Repeat 3 times making sure no air remains.

7. Check oil level , fill to near top again.

8. Vacuum bleed from bell house clutch bleed point whilst cycling though all gears with engine off. System will prevent too many changes to protect pump. Repeat 3 times making sure no air remains.

10. Ignition off.

11 . Ignition on.

12. Cambiocorsa fault light should turn off.

13. All gears should select and display correctly with ignition on/engine off.

14. Remove any excess fluid until level is 5mm above internal reservoir plate. Approx just over half full.

15. Run engine in neutral for 5 mins.

16. Then with engine running and foot brake on cycle gears 1-2-1 and wait 1 minute. Do this 3 times.

17. Ignition off

18. Normal startup , no faults , drive in manual using all gears, checking auto, sport & ice work.


Only tested for 4200 (2002) coupe and with unknown air ingress due to pipe failure.

A few images of the finished job,





Now for the system set up, with the new fluid and new pipe I'm guessing the system will need adjusting on the software end? PIS? Mike Roberts for that?

Can't see why a new pipe (if that's all you've replaced) will need any set up at all.

Have you bled it yet?

<edit> Just read Voicey's comment about self learn. Don't understand, but certainly don't want to contradict!

C,

Yeah it was bled 3-4 times to make sure all the air was out from both ends, true I did only replace the one EV pipe, and a litre of fluid, I'm not sure either but it would see that's where the SD2/3 comes in when you do it at a dealer, plus it's probably a good idea to adjust it as time goes on anyway just to have piece of mind with the clutch wear and any fine tuning of the PIS.

 

[CatmanV2]

Certainly there is benefit to setting the PIS (Voicey did mine)

If the bleed was successful, have you driven it? Pending Voicey or Craig saying it *has* to go through the self learn, I'd get out and drive
