R129 Soft Top & ADS - Different Fluids?
Read some information today that implied different hydraulic fluids are used in the R129 Soft Top Hydraulics and the Adaptive Damping System (ADS). I was under the impression from a Mercedes Dealer that MB Hydraulic Fluid (MB p/n: 000.989.91.03.10) was useable in both systems.
Further complicating matters, Mercedes changed part numbers. However, I was told the latest is MB Hydraulic Fluid (MB p/n: 001.989.20.03.10) and still applicable to both systems.
Question: Are two different hydraulic fluids used in the R129 - one for the soft top and one for the ADS? If so, what MB part numbers for hydraulic fluid should I be using in each system?
