Hi had problem with leaking ABC pump not easy to rectify,but after stripping and fitting new seal,on assembly found all cylinder end plugs loose.and one unscrewed two turns making me think the seal ok and leak coming from cylinder end caps, anyone with similer findings.

On leaving the house this evening I got an ABC visit workshop message, I stopped the car, did the walkround and all was well. I got back in the car and the message cleared when I restarted so I carried on. I then went shopping, got back in the car and got the dreaded Red ABC "Drive carefully"...

I got the CL back from MB hamilton after 2 days today. The service manager said the job was an absolute nightmare...access to the pump on the engine etc. Said they have done several 600's (V12) and they were ok, the 55 (V8) was a lot harder. Anyway, I only drove it for a couple of miles home...

Hello guys, I will try to change ABC pump next weekend coming and was wondering if any of your tried to do it with a friend Mechanic and not to MB. Is there anything specific I need to watch out? As far as I know til now ... ABC pump and power steering pump are coming out together and getting...

Got another red "ABC drive slowly" or some such warning last week, after parking up on a kerb for 5 minutes, took it into MB Hamilton. STAR says "low pressure" so they have ordered a new pump under warranty (tier 2) Does this sound right? Only 1 pump to replace? How often do these pumps go...

Hello guys, I have a "problem" with my suspension at my W215 CL500. I did have for the past 2 months displayed ABC Suspension please visit workshop displayed with white lettering, but everything seemed to be working fine. I have taken it to MB in Greece as I was there on holidays. He plugged...

I have seen some of the above kits for sale on Ebay, whats peoples opinions of them? are they a good way of lowering your car, is there any negatives compared to the lowering module...

Hi, new here, this is my first Merc so excuse any dumb questions please. I also have a niggling ABC fault. Sometimes the "visit workshop" warning comes on, there is no pattern to it and by turning the engine off and restarting it clears. there are no leaks and fluid is at the correct level...

Any suggestions as to how you measure the correct quantity of fluid on a 2002 SL500? The stick is printed in German and there is nothing in the handbook. Thanks Rob

I noticed the other day that when I drive through some pot holes ... and only one wheel goes in, the car kind of bounces, changes slighty direction. (don't think that it is severe, but I can feel it as I drive) It does not do it on all speeds. Mind you if I go in a corner the car drives superb...

I always thought that the BBC stood for the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation. Now like British Airways it wants to appeal to a world audience and shun the British...? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/03/nbbc103.xml If anyone didnt think that the Uk Govt ran the...

My car has decided to go wrong again today, just having left MB in Exeter (picking up spare parts) the dreaded red dash lit up. So I thinks to my self what do I do, I cant do much before I go away, as I would not leave it out down there for the duration, so I drive home at 40mph. I stopped ever...

Posted this on a U.S. Forum. No response.... Took my CL500 (C215) for a spin today. When reaching the start of the highway after more than 12km driving at speeds between 50 and 90 km/h (no "shoes") I started feeling vibrations at 100 km/h that got worse and worse . This on a road that is...

I have a 2001 S500(21,000 mls), it was serviced less then 1,000 mls and now it shows a sign saying ABC inactive visit workshop. The sign on the dash does not cancel and it does not all me to look at any of the menu. The car has not been used any differently and cannot understand what has...
