Abdul has been in touch with me and asked me to help bleed the clutch on his 2009 Citroen grand C4 Picasso semi automatic which I am happy to do. My 7.58 Diagbox should be up to the job but I don't know what's involved. Could you post up the procedure please?

Mods: could you change the title of the thread and move it to the Citroen forum if you thinks that's a better place for it.

[GiveMeABreak]

He needs to provide his VIN as without that, I don't know which Picasso he has - original or B78, what gearbox he has (piloted or not) etc. etc.

[Paul-R]

I've messaged him.

Thanks for the help I appreciate it

Ok, as you have a piloted manual gearbox and clutch, by bleeding the clutch I assume you are referring to bleeding the hydraulic circuit and initialising the clutch engaging point?

These are the procedures from initially depressurising to repressurising and bleeding. I have put them all up for reference, but you'll likely only need the last 2 if you have already replaced the clutch.

Depressurizing the system
Connect the diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s diagnostic socket.
Switch on the ignition.

Using the diagnostic tool: Select: Depressurisation of the hydraulic circuit.
All the oil contained in the electrohydraulic actuator unit and in the pressure accumulator returns to the piloting actuator hydraulic reservoir.
The piloting actuator hydraulic circuit is no longer pressurised.

Repressurising
Connect the diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s diagnostic socket.
Switch on the ignition.
Using the diagnostic equipment: Select: Pressurising the hydraulic circuit.

The electric motor of the electrohydraulic actuator unit operates for a few seconds.
The piloting actuator hydraulic circuit is pressurised.

Bleeding the hydraulic circuit
Connect the diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s diagnostic socket.
Switch on the ignition.
Select: In the diagnostic tool menu:

The vehicle
The RPO no.
Perform the global test.
Using the diagnostic equipment: Select: Bleeding the hydraulic circuit.
The diagnostic tool pressurises the piloting actuator hydraulic circuit, changing through all the gears in order to force air out of the circuit.

Thanks for all the help from Paul r and give me a break
If the clutch flywheel and slave cylinder have all been changed does that affect the procedure at all

[GiveMeABreak]

No, it's only the hydraulic actuators that the procedure refers to as these automate the tasks of gear change and clutch operation. The clutch, clutch slave cylinder and flywheel are 'dumb' components. So at any time the clutch has been changed it needs to have the procedure run.

Things have gone quiet with this. I've messaged Abdul but the message is still sitting in the Outbox and he hasn't logged in to here for 10 days or more. Hopefully the problem has been fixed locally.
