Hey. I need a set of eyes from a LX owner. Can someone take a look at their suspension fluid? You may need to pull out the filter sleeve in the resevoir to get a good look at it. (It pops right out with your finger.) Mine has a frothy white coating on the top of it. Like the foam on the top of a beer, only thicker.

When I bled the system, the fluid that came out was emulsified. It was almost like runny shaving cream. I bled it into a clear bottle and, after it sat for about a week, it separated into a white pasty looking mess on the bottom with the brown fluid on top.

I am thinking the PO put washer fluid in the AHC fluid reservoir and it was never properly bled. I am going to bleed it again, but that does not remove all of the fluid. Anybody know how to bleed this system to get all of the fluid out?

Any toughts? Maybe all of this is normal??? I hope!?!?!

Thanks.

Thanks for the help.

I don't have a LX but remember reading a thread on this at www.IH8MUD.com in their 100 series section. It sounds like your system also had the wrong stuff added to it. It was recommended that the other owner flush his system and put new fluid in it. You might go to the other site and do a search there or ask your question on that forum.

My 2001 LX doesn't have the same "froth" on the top...its just the liquid...either something was mixed to the fluid...or maybe there is an air leak in the system thats making it.....

Checked mine. No sign of foam, just pure fluid.
