Hello,
A month ago a hose from the Hydraulic pump that goes to the gear selector came loose.Obviously I lost every shifting and the car shut off. It’s been at the garage since. My gear selector was always a little oily and I was losing very Little oil.I found a replacement of all hydraulic for sale. Pump, selector and clutch slave cylinder for €250. Since the whole system always gave me problems (sloppy gear change, leaks, gears randomly not shifting sometime) I thought I would go for it. The told me he never had problems and was doing « something with the software at ww » every year. I guess that would be the basic settings. The parts have been removed from hisrear ended lupo 6 month ago. My question, does it feel like a good move? Is there a risk of seals, gaskets, o rings etc of drying out if to long off the car? My car is actually off the road and the garage want to charge me €1300 to replace the clutch and slave cylinder but they are not sure if it’s the problem. They still didn’t reattach the loose hose, I just think they have no idea what they are doing with this car.
Sorry for the long post, Hope you can give me some advice...
