I posted initial problems back in May I think, roof failed just before a euro road trip, should have swung by Robbi's, we went as far as Dusseldorf!
When it failed, it seemed like the motor was dead, failed with rear shell on roof. We dumped pressure with the brass nut and placed roof back in place. Auto mech gave the motor a tap and we managed to lock the thing, so he recommended a replacement motor (just the motor). Ordered this from a recon seller that has been used by others on here before.
New motor arrived, worked ok initially, but was very jerky after every 3 or 4 cycles. This worsened to where it was jerky all the time, only when opening the roof, never closing.
Back to local indy who said the hydraulic temp is fluctuating between -40 and +40, and the motor is probably faulty. Then ensued lots of calls with the recon man who wouldnt accept this and was "positive" the pump is at fault. If he had swapped the unit for me then this would have been over, he then ignored further emails. I offered to buy a full recon pump and motor off him to prove the situation and get refund on the parts I didnt need, no response.
So, I bought a full used unit from a scrap yard. Swapped the full unit over, roof worked perfectly. I then put his refurb motor on the scrap yard pump, and the jerk is back. So, I'm thinking Right, it was the refurb motor all along, I'll get a replacement from him, and can get my money back on the scrapper.
Another call, he send me another motor., I put this on the scrapper pump, and it works.
At this point, I put my old pump together with the new motor, and swap it all over, this is where I get the problem of leftside rear shell not rising cleanly, and doesnt even try to go back down. I now decide my old pump is part of the problem. I switch everything back to the scrap unit, motor and pump, and the behaviour is the same.
So I'm worried I have got hoses in the wrong place, if this is true then I suspect both full units I have are ok.
I've tried switching a couple of lines, which has given me some info, but i'm aware I may be making things worse.
I think the right hand side is correct. I have the boot lock in service mode.
In current situation, the shell2 will rise, front screen locks undo, deck will open, but i stop there as the left side is a bit off, it seems to lag behind. When I try and close from here, the left shell 2 doesnt move, and the right does. I dump pressure and return to closed position.
Swapped 22 and 31 hose, (roof shell, front left 22 and kinematics box, front left 31 - Robbi's notes)
When I did this, i tried the close button first, as nothing was locked in place, it correctly locked down shell2 and the deck, and closed the windows. I felt hopeful that this might be it. On opening however, left side shell2 didnt rise at all, put it back as it was and returned.
Swapped 11 and 31, (main kinematics, front left 11).
This raised the shell2 ok onto the roof, opened the deck ok. I stopped here. On pressing close the left side of the deck didnt move, so again it went crab like. Dumped pressure and returned to closed position.
As 21 is the roof shell rear, I suspect thats where I need to go next.
