[R129 SL] Top Pump Leak

[Jan Kuylaars]

Most of the time it are the hydraulic cylinders who are leaking , not
the main pump.
If so the oil should be in the spare wheel hole in the trunk.
If the oil is leaking out of the passenger side wheel well, most likely
is the big main cylinder for moving the frame leaking.
But close manual the top. Or refill again and close the top
hydraulically and then open the top till the cover comes up, and the
back part of the top is lifted.
Then stop the control button.

Take a wooden piece to hold up the small back part and then you can see
if the main cylinder or the cylinder for the back part is leaking, or at
last maybe the line ore fitting.

Onderwerp: [R129 SL] Top Pump Leak



I took the advice of people on this list and added the MB Hydraulic Oil
into the pump in the trunk, top worked perfectly.  Unfortunately I
noticed oil running out under the passenger wheelwell and now back to no
function.  Checked with the mechanic, he tells me it all may need to be
replaced if there is a leak in the main unit.  Any idea where the leaks
usually are on these things?  Do I even want to know?
