Renault trafic clutch problem

[flabdog]

Hi all the clutch pedal on my 08 2.0 trafic dropped to the floor. I noticed a puddle at the front end and looked underneath finding a pipe hanging loose with like an L shaped plastic end on. It fits into the back of the gearbox but I assume the system now needs bled. Any ideas please what has caused the pipe to come out as it seems a tight fit now its back in place. Also any tips on bleeding the system please. Cheers

Do you mean loose as in the middle of the pipe wasn't supported properly, or that the end of the pipe has been disconnected?

If it is leaking you will need to fix the leak, then refill and bleed it. Bleeding alone is pointless until you have fixed the leak.

The L shaped plastic pipe had came out of the gearbox and was hanging down. It seemed to go back in fine and Ive tried to pull it back out but it looks pretty secure. Was wondering what could have caused it to come out in the first place.

I'm guessing that was the clutch hydraulic pipe and that it uses some sort of push fit connector at the bell housing.

Best case scenario is that the pipe wasn't fitted properly and fell out of its connector and by putting it back you have rectified the fault. It may need bleeding. Some systems self-bleed if you pump the clutch pedal a few times; others need you to follow a specific bleed procedure.
