Why do i keep getting an airlock on my vauxhall astra.?
Answers:
Check if the fluid level in the master cylinder supply falls after it has been topped up. If It does the chances are the slave cylinder is leaking. When stationery hold the pedal down for a while then look under the car for smelly brake fluid. If you feel up to it roll back the rubber cover on the slave and see if there is fluid in it - it should be dry. Friends are helpful here!
There is a recuperation device in the master cylinder which makes certain fluid is supplied to the line. If the level falls it sucks in air.

I assume you mean an Airlock on your clutch
It sounds like you have a leak on one of your connections to the cylinder or it is passing fluid. Is it topped up to the correct level?
if this has only started since the new clutch was fitted then it looks like the mechanic has damaged the system take it back to them. They are responsible for it
Take it back to where you had this fitted, I suspect there is a leak on the mater or slave cylinder of your clutch. I will explain so you don't feel not in control here. your pedel is conected to a pump(master cylinder) control which then feeds the fluid to the clutch unit control (slave Cylinder) when the fluid is moved down the lines to this control it moves then the leaver which operates your clutch. when the seals are worn or damaged air comes in and sometimes fluid leaks out when badly worn or damaged. have this seen to before you lose the clutch compleatly, I suspect they damaged this, but every good garage would replace the seals before assembley of a new clutch. ask for evidence of this.
air is leaking into the system and is potentially dangerous, sounds like you need new seals or if the bore is damaged new master or slave unit.
