Hello all, I have been dealing with this Combi that has me racking my brain on where to start. The unit has an intermittent issue that seems to be related to hydraulic pressure. When the unit is put into crabwalk mode and driven, sometimes the front wheels will try to spin in opposite directions creating an aggressive hop making load handling unsafe. I have went through the calibration procedure multiple times and cleaned and ensured all prox sensors are working but have had no luck finding any info on this particular issue. I'm aware that fluid can leak past the seals in the steer cylinders, but am unsure of which cylinder to point to. there are no issues with the rear wheel from what i can tell operating the unit and no issues in forward or reverse travel, only crabwalk. Any help anyone could chip in would be appreciated. I have also tried a spare timer with no change as well.
