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

Broken hydraulic lines happen in these cars, sounds like your most likely problem. I would not run the engine as it may destroy the expensive hyd. pump for lack of oil. Get it towed, the hoses are costly but less than a torn up pump and its acompaning mess.

check ur lines the high pressure hose from pump to the block or ur high pressure powersteering hose..

Yes, garage have confirmed a split hose. The new hose costs a staggering £400 (600usd)!!!!! And 5 hours labour to fit!!!!

They have warned the pump may be buggered due to the fact the engine ran for around 5 mins after the hose split but they won't know until they refit the hose and refill the fluids.......
