It happened to me again...

This time it's the pipe to the front activa cylinder that burst. And again LHM on the road. For the fourth time now in 8 months.

Will it ever end?

At least I change LHM every 1000km. :lolhit:

Was that one of the flexi pipes Xantos?

If so then check very carefully he routing of he pipe as if it is not correct it can chafe.

The correct routing can be found on my website in the Activa Ram repair area...

Yes it was one of those flexi pipes... A pebble came between the pipes just above the activa cylinder and it was stuck there for who knows how long. It slowly cut through the pipes until the inevitably happened...
I believe that the routing was correct and I couldn't find the correct routing on your website.

I had some trouble unscrewing one flexi pipe from the steel pipe but managed with an angle grinder and here is the result.

Thankfully there is a local company that makes hydraulic pipes and they were able to custom make new ones (20€/piece).
