Anyone know the dry capacity of the clutch system?

I doubt even Toyota could tell you that. I think my TT system which was totally dry used less than 500ml.

 

Less than 500 ml for sure, but get a litre of fluid as you need to bleed and mess about.

 

Nice one, cheers guys :)

 

It's about 300 ml I think. I bled my system today and worked out roughly it's about that.

So is it OK now then?

 

It's sort of the same really.

 

I now suspect that the master cylinder has gone again as the pedal stays down almost like it did when the seals went last time. How is that possible? I only put new seals in earlier this year :rolleyes: I didn't pull the master cylinder off the other day for that very reason, plus, more importantly, the fact that I didn't have any snap ring pliers with me in the workshop. The slave cylinder piston seals looked pretty good to be honest, not like the seals in the master. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=180213&highlight=clutch+master+cylinder+refurb

 

If I'd of had my snap ring pliers I would have pulled it out and had a look. Do you think the master cylinder itself is done? A new one from Toyota is like £103 plus VAT!:blink:

You'll probably find the tiny bleed hole in the MC that allows fluid back to the MC when you lift the pedal is blocked with debris. Did you blow out the cylinder with brake cleaner and high pressure air?

 

I stripped it completely and cleaned it out with brake cleaner the best I could, but didn't use air.

 

Which bit exactly do you mean? Is it this bit that allows fluid return?

I think my next course of action is to strip the MC down again, clean it up properly with more brake cleaner and air, maybe get the slave off too and perhaps clean out the clutch line itself?
