It was a seriously fiddly job to clean it all out , then I replaced the filter and replenished it with the correct oil and it works fine .
As soon as the oil turns dark again (it uses a clear Mineral based oil) I'll go back in and clean it out again .
Oil and sweat are *MUCH* cheaper and easier than rebuilding the leveling valve , replacing the spheres and so on . |
Interesting. To be honest, this has been pushed way way back on the list of priorities. The car still rides quite well without the SLS system, no real complaints there. I have oil leaking out and some water leaking in- my two issues that are taking precedence. =)
