Pressure Regulator
Has anyone had to have a pressure regulator replaced?I had a hose burst that travels from the reservoir area to the bacc of the car and the Indy in telling me I need a regulator also or the whole system can be compromised. Is this fact or his attempt at a late Xmas gift...it's an 2002 cl500 with 105k I'm located in san Diego the car is in LA and he'd asking for 2066k, any inputs?

That does not sound right, plus there is one hose that goes to the back of the car that has been recalled by Mercedes.
Ask your Indy the part number for the hose and check with MB if it is the recall, also ask the part number for the regulator so someone with more knowledge than me can help

So I ended up just paying to get the repair done because I left for deployment training and I did want the car just sitting up like that but my car still sinks after being off for 20mins...any ideas...just had new hose and pressure regulator installed

Mercedes claims it's "normal" for the car to sink after sitting for extended periods (days or weeks). It should not sink after 20 minutes. I'm no expert but it sounds like a bad valve block(s). I often leave my CL sitting in the garage for several days and there's usually no (noticeable) sinking.

Valve block or maybe the indy did not bleed the abc system correctly using the rodeo procedure.
Start by checking the abc fluid level, then get a rodeo done, then if the problem continues it is most likely a valve block.

I also noticed that when in park and the engine is running the car lifts very slowly for example if I'm picking someone up and park after sitting for 5 mins or more when I turn the car off I feel it sinking but when I get out it's at the normal height as if it was raised and it eventually sinks further but the funny thing is it doesn't sink every time
