Default changing clutch fluid

could anyony please advise me of what make of clutch fluid to use and the method of renewing the clutch fluid on a my00 turbo, is it just a case of taking the old fluid out and putting new in or does it then need to be bled?, many thanks.

just bleed the lot out and keep on filling the reservoir as you are pumping.

It will purge and flush then replenish.
Use DOT 5.1 fluid to resist the hot turbo in traffic.

where is the bleed nipple? is it just clutch fluid or dot 5.1 brake fluid? many thanks for your reply, probably seem like stupid questions but im slowly getting through changing the fluids and filters and learning as i go along.

The nipple is on the clutch slave cylinder which is awkwardly bolted to the gearbox under the intercooler.

DOT 5.1 brake fluid is ok from Halfords etc.

Not stupid questions, we all need to learn as we tackle jobs of any sort, Impreza's included.
