Problem with roof hydraulics after my pump was relocated e85

[BudaZ]

Hello! I would really appreciate if anyone can help me

Recently my mechanic relocated the hydraulic motor to trunk.

After he relocated it and tested the roof, something started causing the drilling sound for first few seconds and last few seconds of operation.... (see the video below)

And in the relocated roof motor pump, where it has oil, there is not a lot of oil in it - I think so. (see the photo)

And since everything was working perfectly before the relocation of the motor I assume that something with hoses that connenct the hydraulic pump with hydraulic hinge could go wrong?

And now I have a leak in the system on these hoses/connectors.

I am curious if you think this is the cause and if you are selling the hoses.

Or could the relocation of the motor cause the hydraulic hinge to start leaking and needs replacement?

Or maybe just need to top up the fluid? But then how did it loose fluid on relocation?

Keep in mind that there is no corrosion on the pump and it was completely dry.

Thank you for your answer!

Best regards,

It looks like low fluid leve. When in the boot, it sits at more of an angle, so needs slightly more fluid to cover the inlet ports and prevent it sucking air.. Try that first and report back

Filled it up with oil and now it works as it should!!

No more drilling noise

Thank you!
