Like many other owners, I have been experiencing issues with my clutch only returning half way back on warm days...such as today! Many members posted the link to changing clutch fluids, which I just completed with DOT 3 fluid. The issue is still happening, and I am wondering if using DOT 4 would help at all?
The local Schuck's Auto Supply only had DOT 3...does anyone know where you can buy DOT 4 fluid locally (Seattle/Bellevue area)?

Thanks in advance for your ideas and help!

 

autozone used to have the valvoline dot 4 but i don't remember if they still do or not anymore. if you're in to spirited driving it would be in your best interest to get some performance fluid like the motul rbf 600. i use that in my vw and it stands up to heat and pressure extremely well.

 

Thanks djSLIM. I will see what I can find. Its so hard to find decent auto parts, fluids, etc anymore. All you can find off the shelf are the basics.

 

there's a vw tuner in redmond called achtuning(.com) that sells the motul. clicky

 

you can get the Motul RBF600 at most any motorcycle shop....
You may also want to replace the clutch line with a steel braided one if the fluid doesn't help

 

if DOT 4 doesn't solve your problems, it might be the master slave cylinder.

 

fixed for accuracy

 

napa usually has dot 4. ie.. like valvoline synthetic

 

I ordered some Motul RBF600, and should be at my house tomorrow. Hopefully that does the trick.
Thanks for all of the input!

 

Finally got a hot day here in Washington, and did NOT have any issues with my clutch pedal. So far the upgrade to the Motul RBF600 clutch fluid has helped!
Hope this solves my issues!

How much fluid do I need to flush and fill? 500ml or more?

 

2 of those 500ml bottles should do it.
