Can I avoid most ABC problems if
I don't activate the ABC "Sport" mode, or does that not make much difference since ABC is in use even when the car is not in Sport mode. It's an '02 CL600.

As far as I know, you are correct, it does not make much difference, the usual problems will still occur. The pump, valves, etc. are always in use, regardless of the setting -

The high pressure ABC distribution hose was recently replaced under warranty on my 2003 CL500. The mesh width of the new filter was "3" microns instead of "10" microns in the original filter. The revised 3 micron filter entered series production as of October, 2005. Check with the MB parts dept. for specific applications. Part: 003-184-61-01. List price-$42.

I have used ABC sport 98% of the time since '03 and it has been flawless. It makes no difference.

How often should you service the filter and system?
