Hi
I have an issue with my roof in that when I raise it the driver side is much slower and the roof twists as It lifts. Once the passenger side is fully up then it continues and raises the drivers side fully. Roof appears to stay up and lowers correctly.
Got access to the pump and the pump oil levels appear low. Well below the min mark when the roof is up and just below the min mark when roof is down. No sign of any leaks anywhere. So I think my next plan is to top up the pump reservoir using the little access screw on the top. Assume this needs to be down with the roof down to try and get the oil range between the min and max at all roof positions. I don't want to risk overfilling. Is there a bleeding procedure if required?
Does anyone have details of the specific oil to use? I have some Febi 06162 which appears to be central hydraulic power steering oil. Am I ok to use this?
Have attached photos of oil levels when roof up and down.
Hoping once topped up it may solve the issue.
TIA for any thoughts/ advice?
