Hydraulic fluid for roof
I've noticed there is absolutely no hydraulic fluid in the roof motor reservoir. Got the correct fluid from Peugeot but when I pour it into the fill screw it doesn't go into the pump. It fills up the screw hole then pours everywhere. Any suggestions? Dying to get this roof working.

Re: Hydraulic fluid for roof
You are filling it through the fill hole and not the pressure relief valve?
Place the hydraulic pump (3) in the vertical position .
The oil level on the mark (4) must be between the minimum (B) and maximum mark (A) .
If the oil level is too low, top up via the screw (5) .
IMPERATIVE : use ARAL VITAMOL ZMH type oil .
WARNING : never modify the clip (6) .
Tighten the filler screw (5) : 0.9 ± 0.1 da.Nm .
Test operation .
Check the oil level again .
If the oil level is above the maximum mark (A), drain the oil using the drain screw (7) .
Proceed in the reverse order to removal .

Re: Hydraulic fluid for roof
Yeah number 5 the filler screw. Does the container need to be pressured like a can of lighter gas? Mine is just a bottle that pours in. Fills up the screw hole and that's all.

Re: Hydraulic fluid for roof
I topped up the system by removing the reservoir and filling it manually. The roof works perfectly now.
