W215 2004 ABC pump noise

Hello gentlemen and scholars I have a concern with a CL500 I just bought. Previously I owned a W220 S430 so I’m a bit familiar with issues in these cars and I appreciate them so much and I just want to have this new beauty back to no mechanical flaws. I absolutely love the functionality of the Hydraulic Suspension and have no intention of cutting corners to fix it. With all this being said help with the best advice on what to attack here 🔧

That pump sounds like its falling apart! I imagine a removal and rebuild or a new unit will be the answer to that.

Replace the pump and make sure the system is clean. You should consider converting the car to coils and putting a W220 no-abc power steering pump in it. Changing the tandem pump and all the service to go with it will be 1500 bucks at least.
