You can add hydraulic fluid to Porsche convertible top motor by popping open your engine hood and then pouring the hydraulic fluid into the appropriate compartment.
The convertible top motor uses automatic transmission fluid.The convertible top motor uses automatic transmission fluid.
It is both, an electric motor runs a hydraulic pump.
A hydraulic motor is actuated by the hydraulic fluid which is pumped into it, and will use this fluid energy to turn a shaft or mechanical gearset, thus converting fluid energy into mechanical energy.
all of the components for the top, including a plug in the side of the motor to fill with fluid from are under the back seat area. Refill for fluid is dex trans fluid.
If you look behind the back seat , look at the hydrolic motor there is a rubber plug that you take out and you use a sqeeze bottle to put the fluid in. hope this helps.
The relay could be bad. Replace it. It's cheap. Also, try topping off the hydraulic fluid in the motor. Beyond that, the motor may be bad.
It is a hydraulic motor housing containing a vane that turns the shaft when hydraulic fluid is pump through the motor.
GM uses different fluid on hard top convertible!
Mechanic that once worked at VW dealer told me it was hydraulic fluid, better know as power steering fluid. He recommended buying from the dealer to keep the same quality when adding to the reservoir.
Automatic transmission fluid.
A hydraulic pump will be powered by a mechanical source, such as a combustion engine or electric motor. The input shaft actuates a mechanism which pushes fluid through it, thus converting the mechanical energy into fluid energy. A hydraulic motor is powered by the flow of hydraulic fluid through it, and will use this fluid energy to power a mechanical device - typically, a shaft, thus converting fluid energy to mechanical energy.
in the trunk remove battery cover. the top pump motor is on the top-remove the plug in the resovoir and fill with green dragons blood.
