Hi List
We've got a late '09 Bravo T120 Dualogic. Really like the car and it's always worked perfectly, but haven't had the best experience with main agents (long stories) so tend to work on it myself when I have the time. At 35,000 miles it's now got a damp patch under the Dualogic pump/reservoir/accumulator area. The trans hydraulic fluid looks clean, but the level is looking low so there's a few questions....
How can I accurately check the level?
Is there a common cause for this? For now I've ordered some fluid to keep it topped up until I can take a look at it.
Is it straightforward to remove the pump hydraulic block with accumulator etc to find the leak? I guess it needs de-pressurising first.
Is there any kind of setting up necessary when the hydraulic block is re-fitted?
And one question on the clutch....
Is it straightforward to change the clutch fluid (reservoir with black top). It's 5 years old and I think looks a bit grubby. If there's a bleed on the slave then I would plan to drain it and pressure fill with new fluid though I'm sure it won't be that simple.
I've got an old hydraulic Citroen too so quite used to hydraulic work like rebuilding pumps, accumulators etc. Thanks for any help.
