so, i went to flush, fill, and change the filter for the self-levelling suspension system in my '80 300TD.
i removed the line at the bottom of the reservoir, emptied the reservoir, changed the filter, reconnected the line to the bottom of the reservoir, filled the reservoir to the brim with mercedes spec hydraulic fluid, started the car, went to the rear of the car and cracked the bleeder until i saw the old fluid start to drain into a jar.
i went back to the front to check the fluid level, and there was hydraulic fluid spraying out of new pinholes in the pressure hose!
i just ordered a new hose for $136 (!!!!) and really need to know what i did wrong before i install the new one. opinions?
