My service manual said that the system does not require service. Btw, there's a recall on the ABC high pressure hose for all W215 CL. Just got my done today.

Guys,make sure you get this recall taken care of ASAP. I had an 02' CL 500, it was giving me all sorts of issues with ABC. The techicians did everything from ABC pump replacement to flushing it twice, but the ABC malfunction issue occurred almost on a weekly basis and I am very careful/conversative driver. Anyhow, I had to get rid of it, b/c I didn't have the time or patience to deal it the issues. I hope you guys can sort of the ABC quirks. All the best.
if you need specific info., contact me, I have had my fair share of ABC problems with my CL500.
