Bleeding the hydraulic system
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Damage to the convertible-top frame if not running synchronously. Do not bleed the hydraulic system until the hydraulic cylinders have been removed from the convertible-top supports and the left and right drive levers have been removed.
The system has a self-bleeding feature. Three to four operations will bleed the system. After bleeding, check the oil level in the hydraulic pump reservoir and correct if necessary.
Bleeding requires the hydraulic valve to be closed.
