Very good. I would recommend powering it up and checking the operation before replacing the access panels, tire etc., just to check for leaks before you button it all up.
This is sort of what I mean by "a nightmare of German ingenuity." They've hidden it under the spare tire, which most people don't even know, and you need a special set of wrenches, which most professional mechanics don't even have, just to take it out, at which time you may very well find that Mercedes hasn't made the part for ten years. Try finding the plastic strip that holds in the headliner on a CLK430. Part of the joy of owning a Mercedes.
I am a quant analyst, so I am doing a lot of coding. I have a plan to buy an early R129 and swap euro headlights and rebuild soft top mechanism. It is amazing for me to find you who do exactly what I want to do. Keep it up and I will follow your instruction in the near future.😊
you might want to disconnect the return line, put the hose into a bottle and then, cycle the top a few times to flush out all the old an dirty fluid. of course topping up the fluid also.
Hi there! The pump actually wasn't faulty (or I don't think it was). I just replaced as a preventive measure since the seals inside were likely old and tired. That's the trick with the hydraulics - make sure the seals are in good shape so that there are no surprises 🙂

Thanks for watching

This is great advice to get a proper flush! Thanks 🙂
Good video. How did you find out that the pump was faulty?

Vertical vidéo? Please go landscape.
Only the intro is vertical, I'm sorry. The rest is landscape 🙂
@@bscliftonSo it is. My apologies jumping the gun.
