Hydraulic Oil Level.

:( How do you check the hydraulic fluid level? My car is a 2002 2.2 Hdi. The hand book is vague to say the least. On normal height setting, the tank is totally empty.

put car in low and check the view window on the tank (the square box) level with the top of the box is max.

Thanks very much. ;)

:o I have now checked the level with the car on the low setting and the tank is still empty. Where, apart from a main dealer can i get some fluid?

Where ever you get it make sure it's LDS and not LHM.

:( Thanks.

:P Dear All,

 

I have had the car serviced again and the hydraulic fluid has now been topped up. The car is 5 years old in March and is then due a complete fluid change and filter clean. I asked at my local main dealer (Coleford, Glos), and was pleasantly surprised to find it will be only £125 or £175 if it needs the main suspension sphere as well. I'm sure those prices would not be much cheaper at an independent.

hello

 

my c5 is due for fluid change in march.i went to my local dealer (kent elms) to ask price but they said they do not change the fluid any more as it is synthetic and they also said it is best not to open up the system unless there is a fault.obviously it is your choice to have it done or not:me i am going to leave it
