Cx not rising, but hydraulic pressure light going off!

Unread post by oli_25_uk »

Hi all,

Odd one for you. I went to drive the cx on Saturday and, as usual it started on the button, however despite the stop light going out in the normal time (10 seconds or so) it failed to rise. The steering was also a dead weight so clearly getting no hydraulic pressure.

On Sunday I had a look and discovered a leak. It was dripping from somewhere near (but above) the accumulator sphere. I opened the bleed screw and ran it for a minute or so, but no change.

So any suggestions, clearly I need to get it to my garage, but I'm loath to get the AA to tow it, so would love suggestions for a quick fix just so I can drive it the mile or so to the garage!

Any ideas gratefully received...

I've taken it to my local in Brum, so let's see what they have to say!
