How to de pressure....engine not running

Post by JohnT »

Xantia TD 1995. How can I release the pressure in the system as I want to remove the spheres prior to being scrapped? I have released the pressure to the accumulator sphere but the suspension is still up and the lever in the lowest position...manual says to go to a dealer! Thanks.

Get an electric drill and loop the belt between the pump and drill, pull hard on the drill to tension the belt then switch on etc. It did it for me.

Must have antisink then ?
Antisink system relies exactly on the MISSING system pressure. The a/s valves are closed by the back pressure from the suspension - and the much less (or nil) pressure in a dorming system.
No ways to turn the pump - i.e. a powerdrill or such ?
