[Williamwoo]

Hi all,

Is there a specific hydraulic fluid recommended for the rear suspension?

 

[Mercland]

Yes its called ZHM fluid, the part number is actually on the reservoir.

Quote 0009899103 to your dealer or web search - I looked at this a few years ago and I could not find a alternative other than ZH-M even though I had all sorts on my oils shelf.

Thanks for your swift response. So it's dealer only presumably?

 

[Mercland]

No you can get ZHM from your local friendly Euro or GSF Car Parts. Fraction of the price.

Febi Bilstein make it.

Thanks for that too - I didn't see it before I posted due to my dithering!
