Besides the ABC Issue What Other Major Problems Should I Look Out For.

I just had my ABC Pump and hoses replaced and wanted to know if there are other items that I need to look out for. From this forum the only problem that the W215s have are the ABC issues. Is it safe to say that now that I have taken care of this issue I can enjoy my W215 in peace, that is besides the high cost of brakes and other maintence matters.

ABC pump and hoses are only a portion of the ABC system. Don't forget the struts, accumulators, valve blocks, expensive oil, etc.

Thanks. Does anyone have an idea on the cost of the struts and the valve blocks. Also should I wait for those issues to happen or should I just replace them. I am coming up on 100,000 miles.

If you had to replace both valve block and all 4 struts at the same time, it would cost you in the neighborhood of $10000.
