what is hydraulic zhm fluid ?
hi there
i have this fluid in the front right hand side of my bonnet when looking in from the front.
can anyone tell me what this is as it appears to be empty, and how can i check because it has a fixed metal pipe going into the top of it.
can i just top it up(with what ?) or will the system need to be bled ?
many thanks

ZH-M is the type of hydraulic fluid for the self-leveling suspension. The fluid is made by Febi-Bilstein.
If the fluid has not been replaced in a while, do it now. You need 2 liters.
