Hi,
seems like my hose from tank to hydraulic pump is leaking air(Have replaced the hose clip). Has anyone tried to replace the whole hose with a non Citroen hose ? What kind of hose was used ? The original is (cast)angled a few places, how is the bending angle solved without choking the non Citroen hose ?

Hei Morten -
This hose is indeed a nightmare - only available as original Citroen spares item - at an insane cost [:(!]
I'd say any oil-resistant hose with adequate inner diameter should do the trick.
Remember that basically the LHM hydraulic fluid is mineral oil based.
The hose should simply provide a leakfree oil resistant connection between pump & reservoir.
As a quick repair a lenght of (clean) PVC garden hose would do the trick [;)]
- untill you find a stiffer hose type.
In Norway you may try :

- for a spare hose. No idea though what they charge for this hose.
