any one else noticing the steering juddering on these berlingo type things after you've tested it?had a few now and it don't seem to matter whether you leave em running or turn em off,after you've jacked em up and swung the wheels lock to lock the electric steering starts juddering when you drive it.one I did earlier shat its steering fluid all over the front when I put it on lock tho admittedly when I checked the steering fluid afterwards it was way over so I guess someone overfilled it prior.oh yeah,forgot, we aint allowed to remove the reservoir cap are we? rrant

Seems like the top strut mounts don't like it

Ive had one do it,,customer picked van up & came back 10 mins later saying steering doesn’t feel right,,I put it back on turn plates with weight of vehicle lock to lock a few times & that seemed to cure it.

On the latter part ain't allowed to remove the reservoir cap are we? Device is designed to be readily opened so i do, anyone see a problem with that?

No no no, it says removal of cap not permitted, jack up one wheel at a time

Quote from gent that posted above on facebook...Incorrect testing advice on some c5's so keep an eye out. Help line told me to refuse to test as I was not happy using the facility to jack only one side. We have tested this car for 4yrs without problems so tested it as normal. It doesn't even have hydro suspension despite the vin matching the testing advise
