Question ABC QUESTION - FEW ISSUES

I have a 2003 Facelift CL500, from the day I got it, there was 2 faults with the ABC.

1. When the car is sitting at idel for a short period, it will rise up all by itself at the rear to what I can only assume is it's max height, then it just lets go and drops back down very quickly to a normal height.

2. If parked up, the left rear will drop most of the time, sometimes very low that when I start the car I get the ABC warning car too low, but sometimes it stays at normal height.

I had a big service done on the car, along with ABC flush etc earlier this year.

I haven't noticed any fluid loss below the car or at the rear.

Any help would be appreciated.

i would assume that #2 could be a valve block issue. people have rebuilt them.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Is the valve block shared with any other models? I've seen a few used items on eBay and there is a local Mercedes dismantler near me that have a few CLs for parts.

No no no, try cleaning the valve block first!
