Checking Pentosin Hydraulic Fluid In Luggage Compartment Area

Information 

• The fluid level on the transparent supply tank should always lie between the Min. and Max. marking. 
• If the reservoir has overflowed, the clutch slave cylinder is defective and must be replaced. 
• Hold the supply tank with your hand (counter) while you loosen and tighten the cap. 
• Pentosin CHF hydraulic fluid should not be topped up until the fluid level is at the lower marking. 

The reservoir -2-  supplies the clutch actuating hydraulic system with Pentosin.
