typ44 - crappy idle when cold on '86 5kT

[Max Hoepli]

Instead of Pentosin 7.1 I use Esso Univis J13. it is even recommended as a
replacement for the Citroen's hydraulic oil. Driven 3,000 km. without any
leaks with the J13 and a used rack installed, have also replaced the
hydraulic pressure accumulator.
