Default 6 speed clutch bleeding problems?

So pretty much like it says. I did a clutch in my 03 Beetle turbo s and now i am having a hard time getting the clutch to bleed. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know thanks.

I do not have a Turbo S; however when you bleed it, what does it do?

All mine (APH-O2J) did was gurgle and spit and very little came out even after changing the Master and Slave Cylinder. I am in the process of changing my clutch too.

My pedal goes to the floor and stays, no noise no gurgling no nothing. Im thinking of replacing the master, even though I replaced it five months ago, but thats what you get for buying cheep auto zone junk. I should have spent the extra twenty dollars for the factory part. Lesson learned.

Sounds like you introduced a bunch of air into the system. Fill the master cylinder with fluid and try bumping the clutch pedal several times. You are not trying to push the fluid thru, just trying to get rid of the suspected air bubble in the line. by barely bumping the pedal you are not compressing the air just allowing a little at a time to bubble back up thru the master cyl. Give it a try I do it all the time when i do brakes and such. you can acutally bleed the system just bey doing this.
