CL55 Engine mounts...
I was at the dealer for an oil change when the tech told me my engine mounts, tranny mount, flex disc were crapped. Is this a hard repair to take on myself? I have never worked on a benz, and it couldn't be anymore complicating than my previous BMW's. Is there any pointers before I attempt? And where is the cheapest place i can find these parts? Also they mentioned something about the ABC line leaking from the pump, should I take on that repair or is it not worth the effort?

Can't comment on the difficulty of the mounts but mine went on more than 1 occasion. Replacing the ABC pump was a warranty treat too, if I remember correctly, the pump itself was $900 plus labor. It was a $2,600 job, I think.

If the pump is the one controlling the ABS brakes it should be fixed out of warranty, but mine had a dash warning saying reduced brake distance,
does yours have any warnings?

My warranty is expired. I purchased a shop manual and by looking at the job its the same amount of labor as any old car. I found motor mounts, and transmission mounts on autohausaz.com, they're $70 a piece for motor mounts, and $18 for transmission mounts. http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro...ission%20Mount http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro.../Motor%20Mount
