OIL RESERVOIR

Removing / Refitting

– Open the passenger compartment boot.

1. Move aside the wiring and slacken the two nuts.
2. Remove the electronic control unit without disconnecting it.
3. Release the relays from the bracket, without disconnecting them.
4. Free the connectors, without disconnecting them.
5. Slacken the two nuts fastening the electrohydraulic unit.
6. Slacken the screw and disconnect the side bracket.

– Move the electrohydraulic unit to a suitable position to avoid losses of oil when disconnecting the reservoir. In any case, place a clean container in position to collect the oil.

1. Slacken the four screws.
2. Prise off the reservoir.
3. Retrieve the O-Ring.

After refitting, fill the reservoir with oil through the special filler screw.

Operate the hood for a few opening/closing cycles to allow the self-relieving pump to eliminate any bubbles of air in the circuit and check the oil level as described below.

– Move the hood to the opening position with the hood cover closed. The level should always be checked in these conditions.

– Check that the oil level is between the notches A and B on the reservoir. If necessary, top up with oil of the specified type.
