Default 300TD hydraulic leveling sytem ???

Hi, My TD is sitting very low in the back. I think the hydraulic leveling sytemis OOC. I added some OEM Hydro fluid to the tank in the eng bay but no difference.

Has any one brought thiers back to life?? Love to know how.. thanks Chris

Hi, No there is no leaking around the differential. When I got the car the hydraulic leveling sytembottle was pretty empty so I got some OEM fluid but it has made no difference.

I have heard they can be bled like getting air out of brake lines. Is this true??

I can tell that there is no fluid in the back end since when you go over a speed bump the struts sound like they are bottoming out??

thanks Chris

Hi,

Thanks for the directions. I pulled the top line off of the hydrolic res and ran the car in park (and all gears) and no fluid went in to the container I had.

I followed the bottom line to what I think is the vacuum pump. Could that be what is not working? The reason I ask is the vacuum door locks dont work either??

Standing by to get dirty.

thanks Chris
