To be honest id ruunnnnnnnn!!!! Benz in general are very picky cars electric wise. I once purchased a salvaged m3 rust had already started in the rear subframe. Long story short rear subframe broke of car!!! Not mentioning the shorts the car had after all electrical being switched.. If you get it good luck!

 

Can you do me a big favor and name me a reputable hydraulic hose company that would be fit to replace the hoses on our CLs? Also, just an educated guess, how much hose is needed? My ABC is good now, but I know how these *******s can be. And if I can prevent it, more power then. How long does the ABC pump last if the hoses are kept maintained? Thank you

 

A local Parker store should be able to help you out with that.

 

Whats a Parker store?

 

Has anyone been able to replace the ABC Hydraulic lines with better quality ones so far ? I know the subject was raised and suggested , I dont recall reading that in fact it was done .

 

Sounds like BlownV8 did. Also RetardedMunk mentioned doing it.

 

Do a Yahoo or Google search for hydraulic hose repair in your area. Any hydraulic hose shop can repair your hoses and upgrade them to a higher quality line at a fraction of the new MB hose/s cost.

 

Google Parker Hannifin

 

i didnt know they were right down the street from my place.

 

Sure, the warranty will fix the ABC if it is covered but the long term effects of the tiny metal shards in the lines, blocks, and stuts will lead to more and more problems over the long haul.
