Changed my first sphere on my Activa today. Was the accumulator.
Did i follow correct procedure?
De-pressurised the system as Haynes manual says, removed sphere, put new one on hand tight, then re-pressurised and did Citroebics.
That it?
Hope so as seemed fine after.
Got 4 more to do, the Activa spheres and centre ones. Can i do all at once or is it best to do in pairs then test sysstem out?
cheers
Did i do it right?

When you change a sphere which has leaked some of its gas away and replace it with one with more gas in, because there is more gas in the new sphere the hydraulic pressure isn't able to fill it up as much with LHM, so your LHM level in the tank will go up.
Mine is a little too high right now, since I changed an accumulator sphere but it'll do no harm, the worst it can do is come out of the overflow...
