Installation instructions for article 918-BA conversion kit to hydraulic clutch, Golf 4 engine conversion for VW Golf 2, Corrado, Passat, Jetta, here you will find out how to proceed step by step.
Preparation:
First, make sure you have all the tools and materials needed for the job. This includes a set of spanners, screwdrivers, sockets, cable ties and a torch.
In order to be able to install the hydraulic clutch conversion kit optimally, it is recommended that you remove the dashboard and steering wheel for better accessibility.
Scope of delivery:
- 1x Adapter nipple for conversion VW Golf 2 Corrado, Vento, Scirocco to hydraulic line with fitting gasket (click here)
- 1x small parts with screws and everything needed for assembly
If you already have some components of the set or if you only need a certain part, you can order it individually by clicking on the corresponding component. This means that you do not have to buy the whole set again, but only the part you need or want to replace.
Assembly:
First, the conversion adapter with article number 918 must be installed. The two M8 screws must be used for this. The rear screw (towards the bulkhead) is inserted from above, then the nut can be screwed in from below.
The front screw must be inserted through the hole from below with a 13 mm nut, including extension. The nut is then pushed against the bolt from above.
Both are self-locking nuts :)
Next, the master cylinder must be "married" to the adapter nipple. The long side of the nipple with the hole for the safety pin must be inserted through the eye of the master cylinder. Then insert the safety pin and you're done.
Optionally, the cable can be attached directly to the ABS master cylinder and pressed tight with a clamp.
Then the master cylinder is installed. The adapter nipple must now be inserted into the clutch pedal. As can be seen in the picture, the washer, which is included in the scope of delivery, must be installed.
Attention!!
Depending on the model, there may be a bent "plate" in the eyelet of the pedal, this plate can be neglected and removed.
The adapter nipple is then threaded through the eyelet from the right. The M6 screw is then used from the left to fix it in place.
Now the master cylinder can be fixed to the Epytec holder with the two M6 screws. Use the washers here to ensure that everything fits exactly.
Now the master cylinder hangs on the Epytec adapter. Here you can check the pedal travel, ideally it should go all the way to the bulkhead.
Tipp!!
It is best to compare the pedal travel with the brake pedal, then you can see how far back the whole thing should go :) Now the hydraulics can be connected to the clutch line. After fixing both cylinders (master and slave cylinder), the slave cylinder can now be screwed to the gearbox.
Tipp!!
It is best to bleed the air as long as the slave cylinder is not fixed to the gearbox.
The best way to do this is to use an overpressure bleeding device. If there is still a little residual air in the system, it must be bled in the "classic" way.
Open the nipple -> press the pedal -> close the nipple -> and release the pedal again.
It is best to bleed in a team of two.
In the meantime, both cylinders, the expansion tank and the hydraulic line have been installed and the conversion is complete.
