Open the top of the brake fluid reservoir, starting at the passenger side rear controls. Remove the dust cap from the bleed nipple, push a length of 1/4" bore plastic tube over the expire of the nipple. Loosen the nipple and ask somebody t start pumping the brake peddle. Pump the peddle unit almost adjectives the brake fluid/water is out of the reservoir, refill beside new fluid and pump the peddle until adjectives this fluid if pumped out of he reservoir. Refill the reservoir with verbs new fluid. Bleed the brakes as everyday.

you'll have to deserted the whole system. starting near far right bleed nipple and pumping the peddle. work your way round the vehicle bleeding the nearest nipple to the reservoir last.

Tighten up and overrun the bottle with contemporary fluid. Go back to the furthest nipple and bleed the alien fluid through until the air stops.....hold on to topping up the reservoir.

Work your way round the motor until you've done all four brakes and the atmosphere has stopped coming out.

The hand over your bro a clio round the lughole.

**nb: you can get self-bleed kit from the local autospares.

Answers:    You start from the furthest brake point which would be usually the passenger side rear.

I attached a cooperation so you can have a better hypothesis to what we are all adage here.

It is a lengthly process and dont let the brake master cylinder be in motion empty or you will be nearby for a while longer doing this, and may have to dispose of your brothers body after you give somebody a lift out your frustration. Joke, just kid.

I dont know how much it costs where you are for the brake fluids, but you might obligation to buy 2 bottles of D.O.T. Brake Fluid. Ask the dealership which D.O.T. you should buy, since I dont really know anything about a Clio produce they aint in Canada, but I'm sure the mechanics astern it aint any different to most other automobiles.
