New Flywheel and Clutch, can't get into gear.
r5gtt:
Are you pumping the pedal slightly not all the way down but let's say half way whilst the easy bleeder does its job?. Make sure you have the fluid topped up all the way to the rim as I made thay mistake once and lost all hope until my neighbour told me the reservoir is half empty?.
If you want to bleed the release bearing you'll want to submerge the pipe into a bottle of BF ans get someone to pump the pedal slowly and few times untill you see no more bubble from the pipe and then lock the bleed nipple and hopefully get the clutch working again.

Well doing the bearing bleed method only seems to introduce air into the system? We've done it nice and slow, but lots bubbles come out of the line into the brake fluid bottle every press of the pedal. They never stop coming and then once we try closing the system the pedal won't return by itself.
Power bleeding after this brings tons of bubbles out of the system after doing that.
Either way, it hasn't made a difference. I'll try again just to rule it out though.
Don't know what else to try.
r5gtt:
There's something not right as the bubbles should clear them selves. Can't remember or even know how many reservoirs are there on the gti?. are they combined in to one for both clutch and brake?.
