    I need to change the brake fluid on my 2018 2.0 TDI 150 Manual with a hydraulic clutch.

    Do I need to bleed the clutch as well? If so, before or after the calipers? Is there a bleed nipple on the transmission? Is this accessed by removing the air box? Do I need a pressure bleed kit to bleed the clutch? I have been meaning to buy one for a while. I was this thinking about the Sealey VS820.

    Has anyone carried on this procedure recently and are they able to answer any of the above questions?

    Yes bleeding the clutch is a good idea, there is a "nipple", we have an SP electric pressure bleeder, pumping the pedal can upset the seals occasionally.

    Thanks for that. Does it matter in which order the clutch and brakes are bled?
