Guest DRP091010 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi, I picked up my first cabriolet yesterday, and the guy I brought it from said I need to change the power hood fluid to get it working again. I have no idea how to do this. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshlad Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 i just bought power steering fluid from my local VW/AUDI garage its basically the same stuff (They use it for their power hoods, power steering and audi hydraulic suspension - all the same fluid) but its way cheaper than FORD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRP091010 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks for all your help. Got the fluid from VW. Roof still will not go up. Just making a noise but no action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblue Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Is your roof pump the one with the black cylinder casing? if so, most likely the plastic cog has broken. Easily fixed thou. Need to open the pump to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
