Default Any problems bleeding clutch

Hi I just wondered if there would be any problems bleeding a clutch on a v6, clutch is operating fine, I just thought about refreshing the fluid, or should I leave well alone ?
Thanks

if its working fine leave it alone and just check your fluid level you could cause more harm than good.

I agree, if it has never been done then it certainly ought to be done to maximise the life of the hydraulic components.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Yes agree with you and Harry that it is worth a go - every little helps, although the muck that comes out is the debris from the seals breaking down.

Not a very good photo, but you can see the erosion of the upper part of the slave seal on this failure;
