I bought this vehicle from a young lady that had no knowledge of the workings of the car. She didn't even know where the oil dipstick was. That should have been my clue for due diligence on my part, that I didn't do . She was the vice president of her father's company and said it was a company vehicle and maintained by one of the employees of the company.
The top went up and down a total of five times. Then it stopped. When I checked the hydraulic oil in the pump, it was empty. I filled it with the recommended MB oil and tried to activate the top, it didn't work. I checked the oil level again and it was empty again. I could now see oil stains on the roof.inside the car. The mechanic that replaced the AC blower told me there were two leaking cylinders.
