I'd imagine this gets overlooked quite often.
Hydraulic fluid for convertible roofs. If you've ever wondered how they work, a good starting point is here - lubrication.
First picture shows how dirty the fluid gets, even though manufacturer states 'lifetime' use. Utter nonsense!
Second photo shows how the fluid needs to look.
Third picture is the Hydraulic pump it's self.
Alot of people make the mistake and just drain a small amount of fluid in the pump container, then replace it with the same amount. Wrong!
There's another 1ltr of dirty fluid left in the system to do.
