abc

I am going to do a fluid change on the ABC system and wondered if anyone has used the Febi or equivalent oils available - the system takes 5L and that will cost me £100 from Mercedes - I dont mind this so much but if I could buy 5L of the Febi or equivalent then this would be preferable. I am...

So I recently bought a CL500 without knowing any of the related issues to look out for such as the ABC system, the car looked and felt great so I bought it but after driving for several days I heard the computer beep at me after hitting bumps but nothing was ever displayed on the dash or at...

Hiya All, new member with 09 CL500, just had car back from major service at MB dealership, no probs going into service, 30k on clock! On return, car started to whine, the feeling was that it was tracking the engine revs and could be felt through the steering wheel and transmission. Took...

After an awful lot of research Im 99% sure I need an ABC valve block. Does anyone know where to get one? Apart from Mercedes direct? Thanks

I have a cl65amg 2005 and it did a freaky thing. I was driving at about 60 on a rough Tarmac surfaced A road when suddenly during a corner, the left side of the car shot up for about a second, before settling down again. It did this twice in 2 mins. It felt like the car was suddenly going...

Ok, on my '03 sl350 r230 my ABC visit workshop light keeps coming on in the light blue. I've just had a new pump fitted as the garage thought it was that as it was knocking(I can't take it back just yet as I'm away working), there was no leaks anywhere and the shocks are all good. Since...

ABC system maintenance - great article - Page 2 - MBWorld.org Forums I read the above conversation with interest. It suggests magnetic filters can offer protection against ABC system failures caused by contaminated fluid. I am interested to hear anyone's views on this from this side...

Hi, So I have an Sl 55 here and after a full vehicle examination at Mercedes they have said that only the rubber boots have gone on the rear shocks, the car is a 2006 with only 22k miles, Now I'm aware that these cars can have ABC shock issues which when they go cost £1500 per corner, my...

Well after discussing the ABC fluid change with Aidan I took it on last night and glad I did, I was apprehensive about doing it my self even though Im a mechanic of 16yrs because I've never had to change it before and due to the components being so ruddy expensive I didn't want to cause...

Hey. I have decided to do a write up regarding the removal of the ABC suspension pump on the CL models. I have done this because there is very little in the way of information of how to remove the actual pump. What very little is out there seems to be misinformation and regurgitated eighth hand...

Just a heads up for fellow British ABC owners. I sent of for the ABC seal kit #MBZABCSEALK from California and it only took 3 days to get to me here in the UK. $115 all in. The company is called invasion auto products. Outstanding service:thumb: Now you know.

Hi - need some advise please from fellow specialists. Ive got a weird one on a 2002 sl55 amg 105k, when driving the car the rear suspension feels like its moving from left to right. Quite a dangerous fault. Using star checked fault codes - lateral acceleration sensor faulty ( stored )and i...

Hi guys, started my car this evening, raised the suspension as it was parked on quite a high kerb, lowered it again, proceed up the road & I get a red "ABC please drive carefully" display message. I managed to get it home a couple of miles away. I've tried to raise & lower it again but nothing...

If you've been reading my other thread you'll know I only took delivery of my CL55 W215 2002 today... I know I got it at a very good price and now I know why LOL! All of its later service and repairs have been done at MB Warrington Indy and by all accounts they come highly regarded (Any other...

Guys, I have just had my ABC diagnosed by MSL being a faulty pump. Been quoted £1500 for the job, but more importantly, i know alot of people have had jobs done from these guys and have highly rated them. I have spoken to Andy Gayle in B'ham and he is saying all sorts and on top of that 6-7...

Yes me again!!! So I found out that my previous problem was that my rear driver side strut was dead! Went to fit a replacement strut and the ABC bleed nipple block literally snapped off the ABC line as it was rusted so badly. Anyway I have a replacement pipe on the way, what I want to know is...

Can anyone help me please? I need the part number of the ABC pipe going from the rear drivers side strut to the rear valve block. (its for a 2001 CL55AMG) Thanks!!

Hi all Just a quick question as I need to source a new rear strut for my 53 plate cl55 kompressor I've done a quick search and found arnott industries which do them but not sure if they ship to the uk... Does anyone know if there is any another place where I can buy from as I need it...

Need to fit a new ABC pump to my SL500 and going to give it a go myself. Got a rough idea of what I need to do, but does anyone have a proper guide for the removal/fitting process. Aware of the bleeding/rodeo issues. Thanks
