Probably got a bubble / empty fluid at the clutch end. It's going to need proper bleeding from the clutch end and that needs the tools to get at it and the software to operate the mechanisms.
When you say topped up the hydraulic fluid do you mean the ATF Dexron III in the larger rectangular reservoir or DOT 4 brake/clutch fluid in the smaller circular reservoir? 300ml is a lot to lose, what level did you top up to on the reservoir?
It's the hydraulic fluid for the pump not the clutch fluid so shouldn't need bleeding apparently.
Yes the hydraulic fluid in the large reservoir - not the brake fluid in the clutch.
The system takes just over 0.5l of ATF which brings the level to around the seam around the middle of the reservoir, anything else is ejected out of the drain tube. Keep an eye on the level and if it drops lower than the seam then it could get expensive. Otherwise it looks like the usual Italian electrics in the control unit and the self learn enable procedure should sort it
Out of interest, had you ever had the gearbox oil changed. I seem to remember in a previous discussion about Comformatics that they benefit from an oil change at intervals (can't remember the exact details).
Nothing had been touched on my vehicle to do with the comfortmatic, despite my having taken out an annual service plan with my supplying motorhome dealer which it is now apparent was a good way to rip me off. At 17,000 miles, 3.5 years old I wouldn't expect oil changes in the gearbox to be something one would even think about. Not something that featured in the conversations with Adams Morey when under repair.
Yes they were both changed last year.
No problem with our 9 speed auto…
Next van on order has the 9 speed auto. It was a “must have” luckily I had a choice of 4 scheduled for build in June. WildAx has one NATO air defence grey, two battleship greys and one silver grey metallic. Guess what we chose?
Showoff lol
Ours was £2000 new clutch
Yellow
Mine has done 41k still working fine.
It is not Adams Morey that do that but some garages seem to. My experience with Adams Morey was very good, they analysed the fault, traced the problem, changed nothing and only charged labour for putting it right.
Love the way they did it on the pavement.
Lots of variables from mechanical tolerances, usage and driving style etc. but mohos seem to need putting back into the working zone at about 20k
As I said on another thread mine is going into an independant on Friday for a service and next Tuesday going to Adams Morey for clutch fluid change.
I'm at AM's on Thursday !!
I think it's down Fiat having to set the envelope for clutch transmissibility based on the high mileage delivery/works vans which are the majority. Mohos are used completeley differently so fall outside the permitted envelope much sooner and need the re-baselining. Unfortunately there's no evidence that garages try this before pulling things apart and then using weak arguments to try to show alleged failure which in reality is just normal wear and tear,
Next week Tuesday 1 pm so looks like I'll miss you.
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing
however I'm sure that if a Funster had the software and know-how, they could earn a few bob at rallies ....
Knowing a couple of friends who have both had work done at Adams Morey recently although their labour rates are frightening if they don't fix they don't appear to charge. A different approach to most garages.
For the few quid it costs probably better done with proper Fiat diagnostics.Not sure if that's a good or bad thing
