Fluid for Convertable Top
Can anyone help me identify the type of fluid needed for the hydraulics that activate the top? Is FEBI ZH-M suspension type the same used? The dealer wants my first born for a pint...

Use dealer fluid ONLY. This has been covered on many forums before and in my opinion is a no-brainer! MB charged me 8GBP per litre and that's all I needed when I sucked out the old and refilled.
You really don't want your seals wearing early do you? For 8quid I'd rather be safe than sorry and have no niggles in the back of my mind...
