Gutted - broken CL600

[sshenton1975]

I have a 2005 600 which my pride and joy

Car is running shortened linkages to lower ride height slightly but I have had no issues.....until today!

Driving home tonight and white followed by red abc light came on. Lots of smoke from under the hood

Pulled over to find front suspension has totally collapsed, fluid everywhere under the car and seemingly under the hood too?

Car will not rise up at the front. Back seems to have stayed where it is

All happened very quickly - I am assuming either a hose has suddenly blown or the pump? Can abc failure happen this quickly?

Thanks

Simon

Sounds like a burst ABC line, yes it will go that quick due to the working pressures of the system

Or the radial pump seal had popped.

If it is a pipe, some of them can be a right pain to change.

I've done them in the past and had to take the exhaust off and gearbox.
