Question Vario roof R230

Can I rebuild the hydraulic pump myself and or can the modular that works the top could have went bad and can it be reset like the r129s???

Sorry I should’ve read before posting, my question is 1. Can I rebuild my hydraulic pump that controls the vario roof for some reason it stopped running, 2. Can the convertible roof control module be reset ….. my whole system seems to have stopped functioning completely.

I've recently had my pump rebuilt by TopHydraulics, I'd highly recommend them. Also, if the roof is not working at all, I would check the flaps in the trunk first, overtime they fail and you'll need to buy a repair kit $50-60 and it takes less than 1 hour to do both sides. If the flaps are slighly sagging the roof won't function at all.
