Suspension Fluid

[Guest Peter07]

C5 2.2 HDi Estate 2005

Just having a look round the car today giving it a bit of a pre winter check and noticed that the LDS fluid reservoir seemed to be empty - suspension was at normal setting. (For those that may not know the reservoir on this model is tucked away under plastic just behind the N/S light unit, and so it isn't readily seen on routine checks, especially once the reservoir has got a bit of dirt on it) I raised the suspension and checked again, still nothing showing as you would expect then let it right down. In this position there was around 1cm in the bottom of the reservoir. I haven't a clue whether this is right or wrong and there are no marks on the reservoir to guide you. Does anyone have any info to help with this?

Thanks. Pete

Nice link Tonto, just the job. It means I am missing about a litre I guess but I have no idea where it has gone as I haven't had any leaks, just a slight weep on one of the rear rams which wouldn't account for that much.

Thanks. Pete
