Well, that's it for this topic I guess,
maybe I will throw the car over a clif somewhere..
the last thing I am going to try is replacing the accumolator and after that if that doesnt work........bye bye car.

It means that at idle, you never get enough pressure in the system to fully fill the accumulator.
Possible causes?
Loose drive belt
Porous/leaky pipe to pump
(Easy faults)
Low output pump
Duff regulator.
(Difficult faults.)

Thanks, but I checked all that, the belt is not loose and the pump is not leaking.
(even though there is some strange leak in the connection of one of the return hoses with the reservoir that I can't stop for some reason).
I relocated the ball in the accumulator.
there is no leak at the back of the car.
the oil in the reservoir is clean.
I imagine that the pump is giving enough pressure because it stops for 2 seconds when the engine is running above 13000rpm's, which means that there is a pressure leak or duff accumulator.
that is all I managed to understand from all the above messages.
Am I wrong?
