main sphere 5 sec ticks..

[IrfanIbrahim]

Still havent change my rear spheres and it is as much as driving a lorry now it is very bumpy on my rear. But the rear sphere's age were only a year and a half and as far as i know it usually last about 3 years per sphere?

i've checked the accumulator sphere ticks and it is 5 seconds per tick instead of 30seconds. is it possible the accumulator sphere could damage the other spheres?

BTW, there are LHM leaking when i park my car. when inspected at workshop, the mechanic (more to alfa romeos than citroen ) said it could be a crack on the housing of the main sphere, but ive contacted a citroen ex-specialist and he said it might be the rubber seal or something that need to be replace. have anybody ever had a *crack on the housing?

thanks in advance.

If the ticking intervals are 5 secs you have to replace accumulator sphere.
With a new one it's around every 50 secs, below 30 secs means something has to be done sooner or later.
You'll get a very tired hydraulic pump and finally it'll also need some attention

Where exactly is the leak? There can be several places and most of of them are just seal replacement.
Some of them are easy and some take more time.

Im replacing new one this week.

The leak was at front main sphere area. I guess the housing that hold the sphere? :O

Unlikely to be a crack. More than likely, the O ring seal in the top or the plastic return housing...

Change the rear spheres and i barely feel any bump
Changed the main sphere too, the tick is longer but i dont think it is near 50 secs interval. And it ticks sound is longer. Is it normal?
