Ok.... I wasn't aware that the green o-rings had a special significance.JohnCKL wrote:I meant that I can't find suitable replacements for those 2 green O-rings. Maybe should have approached a few parts suppliers. I was told the green O-rings have different properties than the black ones, so did not replace them.
The official Citroen manual actually does says to remove the solenoid before removing the large top pipe, but they don't say whether to turn the nut at the top or the one at the bottom...Only accidently opened the top part in trying to remove it to facilitate easy removal of the top large pipe.
Mine has done it once since refitting too But since the front solenoid is leaking again I don't know if this is the cause or notMine do sometimes, even twice after refitting the electrovalve.
Ok, if its leaking externally around the bleed screw bolt, there is an o-ring on that bolt that can be replaced which should prevent it leaking. Simply depressurize the suspension and open the bleed screw as normal, then continue to unwind it until it comes out - you'll need a container held near the hole because some oil will squirt out, and also the ball from the ball valve will fall out or fly out, and you don't want to lose itPoint taken, will consult with my mech on the pressure regulator which is leaking now due to the mech's apprentice, probably screwing on the bleed valve too tightly, its leaking from there.
Then simply clean the hole in case of any grit being trapped on the seat, replace the o-ring and refit. A very easy operation provided the ball doesn't get lost...
How much is "some time" ? It's normal for the rear to sink a couple of centimetres after several hours, and then usually it doesn't sink any further over night.The anti-sink valve maybe needs some attention. Whenever the car is switched off, the back sinks about 2-3cm after some time, is that a problem? What other symptoms of a problematic anti-sink valve?
Also the condition of the anti-sink sphere has some affect on the rate at which the rear sinks, as it plays a role in controlling the valve.
