abc

Ok so basically this morning I was driving to town and all of a sudden when I was stuck in rush hour traffic the whole drivers side of the abc system dropped to as low as it can. No abc warning came up and when I pressed the level up/down, the passenger side worked perfectly as normal. I...

Hi, I've been trying to diagnose a problem with my ABC system for some time. The car seems to sit about 2cm's lower on the offside. Some history for you. I started noticing and about 5 months ago and since then at about a month ago I had the poly belt that drives the pump fail and as a...

The ABC pump on my CL55 has gone west so I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that refurbishes them or should I just bite the bullet and buy a new one from Mercedes? Early indications seem to suggest a refurb will be circa £250-300 and a new unit from the dealer will be about £750ish.

Hi all, I wonder if someone can help me out here? I have a sneaky suspicion my ABC is leaking a bit on my 2004 SL500, so have started to do some research into Strutmasters (USA) replacement kits. Now, they tell me they do the correct kit for my model of car and there is actually footage of it...

I posted on here a year ago saying how happy I was with my 2000 Almandine black CL500. And, for almost exactly a year I had fairly trouble free motoring aside from the parking sensors failing and central locking intermittently failing. The ABC light came on then went out, I ignored it as...

Hi This is my first post, although I have been finding the site very helpful. I have a 2003 SL500, which has been suffering a number of the common issues. All of which have been pretty easily managed, so far. My concern now is with the ABC Air Suspension, which I think is about to give...

Hi all Went to take my SL500 out (before the bad weather comes in) after it has been stood in the garage for just over a week and a half. Started, no probs, all warning lights out, then stuck it into reverse and the dreaded ABC light came up saying it was to low to drive!!! Got out to check...

Hi, Could anyone please tell me were I can buy an ABC oil filter for a CL500.

Just bought a 2001 CL55 AMG last month for the sum of 4200 pounds. Cheap at the time. I thought! So, a 700 mile drive completed this weekend, and yesterday morning right before we did the final 300 miles the yellow ABC light comes on. I stop the car, turn it off and on and it goes away. I'm...

Hello I have unfortunately got an issue with the ABC on my SL500 (surprise surprise!). Strangely, I'm getting no fluid loss at all, no oil patched on the floor and the suspension raises and lowers as it should. Just at random times the ABC visit workshop message comes up - no other warning...

Hello all Thought id start a new thread for this. As some of you who may have seen my other thread regarding the rear shocker, it seems we might have been looking at the wrong thing and it might actually be the rear valve block thats the culprit. Well, rather than chase down a shocker which i...

All, Sorry for the potentially stupid question.... Can someone tell me what the differences are between ABC that my SL has and AIR that my ML has please. I know ones air and the other hydraulic but on the SL, will it always sit level even if its on uneven road? i.e will one side of the car...

Sometimes .....you can see the end before it's begun. Having read and digested the legion of threads re ABC prior to buying my R230 SL350 ( obviously with the ABC option ) my instinct told me to leave alone. However the heart ruled and in I dived. Wonderful technology and quite a surreal...

Hello all I have a problem with my rear passenger side shocker thats causing a white "ABC - Vist Workshop" message to come on the dash. I have had it on STAR to find the following error:- C1531-004 Left Rear Suspension strut moves although locking valve is closed Most people i have...

Hi guys, took my CL to garage yesterday with abc fault. They have said they want to flush the system before saying the pump needs replacing. Good idea? What can I expect a new pump and labour to be? Cheers Gary Sent from my iPhone using MBClub UK

Just about to finally purchase a new SL350 (June Build that includes Sport Pack) and am having a problem deciding if I should stay with the now standard 10mm lowered / firmer suspension with sports / comfort damper control or cough up the extra for Active Body Control. Is it worth having on the...

Hi all I noticed my CL (215) is lying lower on the passenger side (front and back) than the driver side. When I start the car it rises up but still not at the same level as the driver side. I have read loads of different stuff on the abc system but not sure if this is the problem. Can anyone...

So I have the dreaded red ABC light of doom... Anyway Ive had the codes read, I have low pressure and have been told I need a new pump, my question is.... Will a pump from an SL fit my CL, they are both 55 amg's (although mine isnt a kompressor), the pumps look identical but the CL part number...

Hi guys, maybe have the dreaded ABC on my w215 CL55 KOMP. It seems that when its raining the computer comes up red ABC fault, but dies not come up if I restart when it's dry, any ideas Cheers Gary Sent from my iPhone using MBClub UK
