    How costly this s55 really is.

    So far, all this down to a previous garage different owner not flushing the hydraulic fluid when a previous pump and valve block were changed, only 6 years ago.

    How costly this s55 really is.

    Finally got it back after a month waiting for a tandem pump from Germany and a nice bill for £3,000. After the one for £2,000 for radiator etc, plus last year £700 for new eis. I always said I'd scrap a car if its repairs came close the the buying price , well it ain't far off now.

    Update s55 abc issue

    Two weeks in the garage now, new valve block fitted, rear level sensor, pressure sensor now looks like pump gone as won't hold pressure. For a pump with only 18,000 on it not good. Unfortunately no pumps available from mb, garage looking nation wide, sounds like a remortgage job.

    Coolant head gasket test

    But would a failed head gasket be able to build up high pressure in the coolant system and blow the radiator, this car doesn't overheat at all when driving. The only odd thing is when the engine is running you can't see it dripping, but when I put the pressure tester on the expansion tank it...

    Possible head gasket or not.

Has anyone had the same problem...
