My pickup has a hydraulic clutch that I had to "re-engineer". Just about every thing on it is plastic. master cylinder, slave cylinder, and the lines. And the line is NOT reinforced plastic. It is just a poly type plastic hose. I have it spliced with just a standard plastic airline fitting. There is not that much pressure in the hydraulic clutch system to worry about line expansion. I would suspect that you have a high spot in the system that is trapping the air. the bleeder valve should be the highest point. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
