Hydaulic connversion to coilovers

Hello every one , new guy here . Got the 2011 CL 63 AMG a few months ago . Now the ABC malfunction light is on and off . There are plenty of horror stories about the cost of repairs , with some saying to convert to coil overs . Any one here who did the conversion ? pros and cons. I just have some basic knowledge about how this work . Not a DIYer .Will pay for ALL repairs.Currently going to the dealer for diagnostic run. Appreciate any input.

From what I've read/seen, replacing accumulators and fluid will probably resolve the issue.
Unfortunately the maintenance costs of the car don't depreciate with its value!

ABC issues on the 216 chassis are not as much of a PITA as they were on older chassis models.

Get it scanned and I’m sure the problem will not be ruinous. Could be accumulators, could be the pump, could be a level sensor etc. A scan will inform well and then go from there.
