Possible causes
- Pressure accumulator: the sphere that stores pressure loses its charge over time. The pump then has to top up far more often.
- Internal leakage in the robot or the valves, so the pressure slowly drains away.
- Too little or contaminated hydraulic fluid.
- A worn pump that no longer reaches pressure in time.
Why have it checked quickly?
A pump that keeps cutting in wears quickly and can eventually burn out. Without pressure the car can no longer change gear or jumps into neutral. Repairing the accumulator or a leak in time is usually much cheaper than a complete robot.
Our approach
We measure how quickly the pressure drops and how long the pump needs to build it up. That shows whether the accumulator, a leak or the pump is to blame, and we only repair what is needed.
Frequently asked questions
How long should the Dualogic pump run?
After opening the door or starting the car the pump normally runs for a few seconds. If you hear it cutting in often while driving or running for minutes, have it checked.
Can I top up the fluid myself?
The reservoir sits on the robot, but only use the specified hydraulic fluid. Topping up does not fix a leak; the cause has to be found.
