One of the most common problems which inflict the 2cv is the incorrect usage of hydraulic fluids.
The types required are quite easy to define:
2cv based vehicle with front disc brakes - fluid must be Citroen LHM.
2cv based vehicle with front drum brakes - fluid must be conventional DOT 3 or DOT 4, i.e. conventional brake fluid.
If the wrong fluid is used in either case the result will be that the hydraulic seals soften & swell, either brakes will seize or become ineffectual.
