There was a leak in the hydraulic system for the roll bar and softtop/hardtop system. I have found the leak, solved the problem and I have filled the hydraulic system again with hydraulic oil. Do I need to let the air come out somewhere ? - I do not know the right word for it, sorry.

No, the system is self bleeding. Just make sure to fill only to the mark on the fluid reservoir, and use the correct fluid; either MB branded or Febi/Bilstein fluid, p/n 02615. Same stuff as Febi is the manufacturer for MB.

thanks SunGuy for your quick reply. I have already put hydraulic oil in it, but will buy MB oil tomorrow.

And I know now the system is self bleeding. Thanks !
