Clutch Line Conversion









NOTE:
- A 15 mm hole -2- must be drilled in the left wheel housing due to the position of the lines!
- The old clutch pipelines should be removed and replaced by the new current lines!
- The colour of the clutch lines is blue.


1. Remove front left wheel.
2. Remove front left wheel housing liner.
3. Remove centre underside panel.







4. Starting from the water drainage -1-, measure the position of the hole -2- to be drilled. Mark the dimension -X1 and X2-. Dimension X1 = 47 mm / dimension X2 = 38 mm.
5. Drill a hole -2- in the marked position with a 15 mm diameter. To do this, move the wheel suspension (wheel alignment) into a favourable position (turn). Subsequently apply rust protection! Drill the hole -2- in 3 stages as described in the following.
- Drill pilot hole.
- Then enlarge the bore to approx. 12 mm.







- Complete using slab milling cutter (15 mm diameter).







6. Remove clutch pipelines -8 and 9- of version -A-.







- Line -9- on the underbody -arrow- is separated from line -10- by unscrewing! Turn at threaded part -A- when loosening. When doing so counter at plug-in coupling -B-.







NOTE:
- The passage for version A is next to the washer fluid filler neck -arrow-.
- After removing the old lines, this small passage must not be sealed.







7. Mount new pressure line (version B) -8- on clutch master cylinder -1-.







8. Install the pressure line -9-. Insert rubber grommet -2- (spare part number 999.702.174.50).







NOTE:
- The plug-in coupling -arrow-, including the holder, is already screwed together. Line -9- is only inserted onto line -8- in a straight line (engaged)!







- Line -9- is also joined together (engaged) with line -10- at the plug-in coupling (screw connection)! Before doing this, holder -C- and screw connection -A- must be removed from line -10-! To do this, use a new screw connection -22- with the mounting plug already fitted (auxiliary tool) -X-! Assembly/disassembly instructions are enclosed for each new screw connection -22-. The enclosed instructions can be referred to for the procedure!


9. Clip pressure lines into the holder on the body.
10. Install the wheel housing liner and the centre trim.
11. Bleed the clutch.
