ABC line delete of the one that goes no where.
My ABC sprung a leak from the line that goes to the pump to about 3 feel then ends. Has anyone removed the double banjo bolt and just gotten rid of the line? I am not sure if MB uses it as a pulse damper or something.

....too late now. I cut down the banjo bolt. I may replace it at sometime though. It makes the actual feed line a little more short then I would like and its pulling on it. Thing is a pain though to get back on. I am discharging the AC right now so I can remove that line that is in the way. Tried loosening the motor mounts and everything. Stuff is just so crammed in these cars!!

Good luck. Hope it doesn't get noisy.
Access sucks. You could try moving the lower diagonal suspension arm, carefully move the plastic cover and get some access through the hole vacated by the suspension arm mounting. Top left hand corner in this picture:
Alternatively support the engine and lower the subframe six inches at the front. This is what you see - the ABC pump banjo is to the left of centre.

The "Banjo bolt" is just the hollow bolt with holes in it that holds the two lines to the pump and the far end of the main pressure hose to the distribution block. The type of fittings are called Banjo fittings and hence the name of the bolt that holds them to the pump/block. I have a spare as the new main pressure hose that I replaced with a new stock part came with a new bolt & O-rings. I do not know if the bolt is available separately.
