Hydraflush is another (generic trade, and anglicised) name for Hydraurinçage.

Similar stuff should be available for agricultural hydraulic systems.

If i cannot find it in Romania, I don't think it's worth buying from other countries because shipping 5-6kg would be pretty expensive.
Do you guys know other online stores in UK that stock new activa parts (smaller) and ship to EU? I would be interested in some new electrovalves, rods, etc... Just in case :)

Have just managed to find Hydraurincage (5L) on Citroen parts
11350 01 Hydraulic suspension/steering fluid (cleaning)

I presume that part number should work in an country.

Thank you. Unfortunately I don't get any results on Google from Romanian websites.
Considering that lhm-running cars are very rare beasts around here and that, to my knowledge, are less than 10 activa in the country, I assume nobody imports it anymore.
I have a friend working in London. Next time he comes back to Romania I'll ask him to bring a 5liter, or ship it on a direct buss if he's not allowed to take it in the plane.
Now, I found some topics in the romanian Citroen forum and it seems that people used hydraurincage in late 2000s, so it was available at some point. While most of them praised it, there are a few of them that said, at that time, that this product destroyed some o-rings or even broke some spheres and hoses. Do you know of something similar??

Have seen no reports here of damage caused by Hydraurincage. A good few users here, who have reported freer movement and more responsive hydraulic systems after using it.
Hydraurincage is essentially mineral oil (just like LHM) with a small amount of cleaning solvent/detergent added. It is the only hydraulic system cleaner approved by Citroen, and is listed by them in their service literature.

We know it is difficult to lay hands on in some countries, but as it carries a Citroen parts number, should - in theory - be available just like any other Citroen part.

Found Hydraurincage on a romanian website!.
And pretty cheap too.. about 30 euros, shipping included. They don't stock it, but they advertise it as "in stock at the supplier's warehouse". Will give them a call.

It seems that the front accumulator sphere was broken (although it was recently charged). Replaced it with new. Now it doesn't tick anymore, which is a good thing, but the car still rolls in curves. I think I still have to change the brake doseur, as it's making a whooshing sound when I press the brake and I suspect it's losing pressure on the return hose. Can this be the reason why the car sometime rolls in curves?

Brake doser would certainly cause some faults you have . As I mentioned before if you have a internal hydraulic leak (brake doser). I would try another known good one . Or have yours tested. Many secondhand brake dosers will need to be checked before you fit it.

Someone will send me a doser next week. He says it's in good condition. Will test it with a pressure gauge before fitting it, because it's a lot of work. My concern is that if the doser replacement doesn't improve the stability, I'm out of ideas on what to test, because the rams are in top notch condition, electrovalves are working as they should, the pressure regulator was taken out and cleaned and I don't see any LHM leaks anywhere...
