The rams are interchangeable (?), but the newer ram I got from Poland without the VW sticker on it, so I don't know if that Polish ram is certainly genuine. Doesn't really matter if the measurements are the same.
Funny thing is that before the pump change, everything worked more evenly, except from the left side always lowering faster than the right side.
The rams are not repairable as the outer parts are pressed together, instead of screwed into each other. This means either I have to reuse the old (in my opinion still good ram) or on the left side again, or on the right side.
As I have seen some crystalisation on the right ram (yellow? instead of pink, like the hydraulic fluid), there might be a starting problem on the right ram?
In worst case, I have to buy at least 1 new ram for the right side, or 2 new ones as the replaced ram is already 3 years old now, and maybe has been suffering from the defective pump?
Only the squeeling sound right before the roof levels itself is not nice to hear, but maybe a little lubrification on the sliders at the front might help?
Hmm, a lot of question marks, but as it is all the first time I am trying to find those things out, ther might be no wonder.
Pff, a lot of work to do, but a lot of time to do it too.
