The liquid should be bright green and not a sludgy yellow\/brown colour.

It also absorbs moisture from the air, usually at the reservoir. The mineral chains also break down as they are repeatedly forced through very tight channels. Combined, these things lead to the fluid becoming thin, discoloured, and ultimately poor system performance.<br><br>In time-honoured fashion, the filters were gently cleaned in petrol. Unfortunately, these are the worst filters I&#8217;ve seen in a running car. Unusually it took several passes to get them clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" src=\"http:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200309_095601-_s.jpg\" alt=\"With only a light cleaning, the petrol is saturated in 'filth'\" class=\"wp-image-70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200309_095601-_s.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200309_095601-_s-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200309_095601-_s-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200309_095601-_s-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The petrol is saturated in &#8216;filth&#8217; with only a light cleaning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Given how filthy the filters were, I wasn&#8217;t surprised to find so much sludge in the bottom of the LHM reservoir. Clearly, this Citro\u00ebn BX needed the LHM fluid changing and was well overdue. Unfortunately, it took a surprising amount of elbow grease to get the filth out. Fortunately, I have an old toothbrush with a bent neck perfect for getting into the edges.
