Hi Paul, Thanks very much for your reply. Not sure why the engine was running but they had in fact just finished doing the tracking and it was on another ramp to balance the wheels and the wheels were left hanging when the reservoir failed and they had not removed the cap. They had had a great deal of trouble adjusting the tracking due to the constant changes with the suspension so useful advice on this thanks. It's being recovered to a Citroen specialist for repairs so they should be well aware of procedures.

Hi, I'm a new member and wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced the steering pump reservoir exploding on a C5? The car was in a garage up on a ramp having the tracking adjusted with the engine idling when the whole steering pump reservoir literally exploded with a huge bang and without any warning. I was with the mechanic at the time and witnessed the whole thing. I'm obviously concerned that this has happened and wonder if anyone may have any ideas what may have caused this and how it could happen. Any feedback would appreciated.
