Save $5,000 on costs with this Maintenance... 

Hello my friends, please don't miss the maintenance on your top Convertible System, believe it or not I asked mercedes for a R129 new TOP Pump and they quoted me AU$10,600.00. With this simple and cheap maintenance you will save a lot as these systems are so sensitive to dirty fluid. Please share your experiences, cheers.

I couldn't agree more. It's amazing how many people think these systems are sealed for life!

I have to look into doing this into my SLK. I guess would be even better to repeat thia again after several cycles of the roof

Thanks BA. Disgraceful that MB make no ref whatever to the fluid requirements...or even the fact it is there in the handbook. Just " take to a MB dealer " if it stops working....Im sure they have a mortgage favikity tomgo with the visist (yes..in Aus...WA). Nearly ruined mine trying to fix, befor finding the resevoir existed and was empty. 2005 CLK 2000 had for about 10 years !!!. Cant afford th MB visit (state pension only ) so off to the car shop for the bits and pieces...and to drain the brake fluid I just put in....I think you must be a mind reader hehehe Thanks a lot... Cheers

My friend my soft top need push by hand to start opening. And when closing it bangs hard on the front , what is the problem you think? Thank you.

Show how you changed cylinder. I have same problem

I was thinking of adding one ounce of At-205 re-seal when I do the fluid replacement. Does that sound like a good idea to you? Thanks in advance.

I had mine completely rebuilt for 1500 francs {France},,Australia must be very expensive???

Where can I get the syringe that Sucks out the remaining fluid ?

Amigo. Es sierto que te economizas dinero en el mantenimiento de el aceite hidráulico. Pero en este video da vergüenza las condiciones que tiene la tela negra CAMBA. Mal mantenimiento por eso se abrió la tela de punto a punto. Había que coserla para que no se moje el interior. Hubiesen utilizado otra capota para dar el ejemplo. El buen ejemplo de dar un buen mantenimiento a un auto convertible de esta alta GAMA 👌🇵🇷
