  I posted as much info as I could to answer your questions about my problem but haven't heard back from you. 

   I'm reading the service manual and found the update to the hydralics to add capicity and will call Maibach on it tommorow morning but I'm assuming this is something they won't carry or they might have it in used parts. But any info on the fade problem would help. If you know of anyone that may have the parts let me know. 

   I will have the hydralic unit apart tommorow. 

Thanks
Eric
