Do I change the accumulator?
Hello everyone I have a 2003 CL55 with around 93k miles now, the abc system works great does not sag at all and I've left it days parked in the garage anyways it does need to have the abc accumulators replaced because I hear a hissing sound probably from it losing its nitrogen charge and I get the abc low light for half a second when going over bumps but I had a question I do not plan on keeping the stock abc for long I plan on removing it and getting coil overs for peace of mind with that being said I'm not gonna change it right now maybe in a couple months, the reason I am making this is to ask if its even worth changing out the accumulators I dont mind the abc light over bumps it has to be a big bump for it to come on for a second but from what I read it puts more stress on the abc lines which could explode thats really the only reason why I would change them but if I could keep it like this for a couple more months I will just change out the whole system. let me know thanks!

Mine was doing the same thing for about a month then it blew a line like you stated above. If you know which accumulator it is just change that one if you are going to coil overs. They were very easy to change out. I plan on keeping the ABC on mine so I went with the kit of three accumulators from fcpeuro with the lifetime warranty.
