Soft top fluid
 
Hi,
I have recently joined the forum and am trying to get my thread count up (I sound like a pillow case). so I can access everything, so apologies if this has been asked before.
When was the soft top fluid replaced for a longer lasting alternative?
mine seems fine right now, but I was wondering if I need to anticipate replacing it.
I have a 2001 XK8.

Cheers
Drew.

Sometime in '99. You should have green Pentosin CHF11s fluid in yours which apparently does not gel, only leaks.

Check out the discussions on both the pressure regulation and voltage regulation solutions to this issue.

Welcome aboard! And you might want to check out the XK8/R forum since you have a convertible.

Thanks again.
This site is a god send!
I recently had a Mitsubishi GTO and the owners club was a similar place with great experience and fantastic support from other owners.
Cheers
Drew.
