Hi, does anyone know if the C5 suspension pump uses some kind of belt anywhere?
After a weekend of no use, my C5 will make a noise a bit like a belt slipping, when the rear suspension is corrected. It only happens at about 25 meters from where I park, as I stop to open a gate. Its only noisy when the rear is going up.
Once I set off again all is fine untill the following Monday.
It started happening before I hypothetically overfilled the header tank.
Thanks

I will take a look, the noise started before the wetting, but I have seen fluid around the header tank and down the sides of it.AndersDK wrote:The hydraulic pump on C5 is part of the fully integrated hydraulic control block. Its powered by an electric motor and driven by gears.
Has your overfilling by any chance wetted any nearby a/c, alternator or vacuum pump belt ?
