W140 600sel Suspension Leak

[LAWTONC]

Apparently(?) got a small leak from passenger rear self levelling suspension. one garage would not touch it as they said 'nightmare with pipe sizes'. Any good garages in Worcester area that could help. Prefer to avoid merc main dealer obviously!

Take it to a citroen independent mechanic, they aren't afraid of hydraulics like most mechanics.

Depends on where the leak is really? did they say?

Let's face it, if they're Citroen specialists they're not afraid of anything!

LEAK SEEMS TO BE FROM PIPE/VLAVE CONNECTION. WAS ORIGINALLY CONFUSED WITH THE BRAKES!

Well as long as it isn't the valve, then it probably isn't too difficult for someone to sort out, if and only if they know about the hydraulic suspension.

It can be an issue finding someone though, my usually excellent independant mercedes garage would not touch it at all, they wanted to rip it out of my SL and fit conventional springs and shocks. Yet plenty of internet research later, I was able to sort out the problem I had with my suspension myself.

Its going to come down to ringing around I reckon, but I still think if its a simple pipe union leak, then a citroen man is probably your best bet. Just make sure he doesn't use citroen fluid and gets some ZH-M fluid from a dealer or GSF.

Good Luck,

seems to be popular advice! Any idea of costs? Where are you based?

Do find a Citreon indie first and ask, it must be the best way to go
