Filling your Astra convertible roof with non genuine Holden Astra Convertible Roof Oil can cause the roof pump motor to wear out sooner.
In some cases the failure occurs 70% faster comparison to systems that have been filled with Genuine oil
A hose blowing in the hydraulic roof system generally occurs due to air getting into the system, in many cases a blown hose can be replaced and then in a couple of weeks another hose blows.
In these cases the hose that has the air leak has not been replace but to identify the hose with the leak at the time of replacing the first hose can be a black art.
There are ten hoses in the Astra convertible Bertone roof where are this point we have only ever replaced six hoes the wear out, get crimped of blow the swagged fitting.
Having said that we have replaced set of ten hoses only when the customer has asked to replace the complete set.
What are the options with regard to replacing the Hydraulic hose?
There are a number of hoses in the market place the first is the cheapest is priced around $30 Australian these hose are 2nd hand many have been working on convertible roofs from 8 - 10 years.
After a period these hoses become hard and in flexible and in turn blow from there swagged fittings
The second option is a Chinese product sold for around $80 Australian these hoses last for a period 3 - 6 months from all reports they seem to more flexible than the 2nd hand hoses yet the are not as old and are yet to last a period longer the 2 years
The third option is an Australian made hose price around $600 manufactured in Australian with high pressure hose and stainless steel fittings. This option seems to be the choice of the majority of the Astra Convertible Owners
The final option is to purchase genuine hose and it is best to get pricing from your local Holden Dealer
