Does anyone have any knowledge of these ?
I unlock the handle, with the handbrake on.
I operate the switch, and the roof gooes back, the cover lifts to expose the cavity it retracts into, then nothing. Its almost as if the oil in the system runs out. You can still hear thge pump working, but then it stops.

Is there an oil reservoir tank that I need to top up ?
Is there a bleeding protocol.

Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Sounds like the same problem A4's have. Its the hydraulic rams that operate the roof loosing pressure, you'll find if you give the roof a little helping hand at the point where it stops it works OK. Only fix is new rams as far as I know. Dont think they're servicable.
