Things I should do while I'm at it

All,
Finally got around to removing the SC on my 2003 CL55 AMG... Previous owner let a mouse family make a home in the engine valley. It's a mess in there but so far, it looks like they left the wires alone. Cleaned out all the major stuff and may go back in with a brush and some cleaner to get all the stains out.

I'm planning on doing a full kit on the SC from FCP Euro and have a VRP pulley upgrade kit and water pump. I also have a new Conductor Plate and new engine/trans mounts.

Anything else I should do while I'm at it?

Car has 146K. From the Carfax, it doesn't look like it had any major items replaced.


Thinking maybe new knock sensors and refresh the fuel injectors and fuel rail. New plugs?

ABC does work. If I let it sit for too long without starting, it will drop. But once started, it goes straight up.

Thinking accumulators may be worth doing, too.



Thanks!

Unless Im mistaken, ABC drops when sitting because of bad valve bodies. Replace accumulators as well but your valve bodies need to be rebuilt.

pm me for a guy in California that I bought my spare set off of
