SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH HYDRAULICS NOTHING WORKS ANYMORE: THE ROLLBAR AS WELL AS THE SOFTTOP !!
 

Hi there,

I have a question regarding the hydraulic system:

If the roof does not function anymore and also the rollbar is not coming
up, which components are most critical?

Is it due to a defective relay that both the rollbar and the roof do not function anymore?

Or is it the Hydraulic "control unit" / computer?

Is it the relay on the pump itself?

By the way I checked all fuses and they are all ok.

There is no visible damage to the wires.

The last time that it worked (3 days ago) it worked real slow, also I noticed that I had to fill the pump with hydraulic oil, so there is a leackage somewhere !!

(Maybe the 2 hydraulic locks on the front near the sunflapps)

Please advise what I should do, cause it is quite expensive to experiment with this and the first thing that I expect to be broken is the pump.

By the way does the pump work for the softtop and for the rollbar as well ????

Please advise !!

Best regards from Holland

Hans

Update:

The hydraulic pump is NOT defective

However the wires between the pump and the relay
were corroded.

I did replace the wires, however the roof still does not function at all!!

Any suggestions please ....

Thanks !

fix?
