CL 600
ABC Drive Carefully... UGH!

Well my beloved CL 600 Drive Carefully light finally came on. I took it to the dealership and prayed that it wouldn't be super expensive. Well to my disbelief it was just a $6.00 O ring that failed. But with this car the labor was about 1300 dollars. Had the car rodeo tested and everything and the ABC system tested out fine.. I'm still a little mad at the labor to fix it but i didn't want some independent shop fooling with it.

Holy crap!! $1300 worth of labor for a $6 part?? You know, there are many places with very recommendable mechanics who would've fixed that problem for a lot cheaper. Going to a dealership doesn't necessarily mean they won't mess with your shizz...

CL 600
The o ring was located where the ABC pump and outgoing line meet.

O ring change out

I have been told that the engine has to be lifted on a CL 600 to access some of the ABC components particularly towards the front.
