Hi All,
I am about to go buy some CHF11S to top my self leveling suspension tank up, it is just slightly below the minimum line, nothing anywhere to suggest a leak and I have had the car for a month now and does'nt seem to have moved any.
I have looked at the filter and it looks pretty grey/black so I am going to change it.
Firstly, is the filter MB only?
Secondly, I have done some research and have come to the conclusion that CHF11S hydraulic fluid is a specific standard grade of oil that does not differ in any way, can anyone confirm this from experience/knowledge>?
Thirdly, does anyone know what the ride height of the rear of the estate should be at rest from wheel center to arch>?
Would a very dirty filter affect the function of the suspension in any way>?
I think myself that the filter looks very dirty (no debris etc!), should I change the filter then do it again in a couple of thousand miles?
I am not really experiencing any problems with the suspension but have noticed it is a little harder than I expected for a Merc, it's not jolting or any other over bumps and she handles very well with no wallowing to speak of etc
Cheers.
