SBC PUMP
I'm thinking of buying a E320 that needs a new SBC pump. I will do the replacement myself. My question is: Does any re-programming, setup or anything like that needs to be done? What about a complete brake system flush out at the same time? This is a 2003 model

Skip, you need to skip this deal, unless someone is giving you this car. The '03 model year is the least reliable and is "bugged." If you have some $$ to spend on a W211, go for model years '08-'09. Just a suggestion!

ive had an 03 (02 built) E320. SBC worked until i had to trade it with almost 150ks at 11 yrs old. cant remember any major problems with that car. i guess it comes down to proper inspection before purchase. but yeah, if you have a lil more to spend, go for the 08 up.
for the SBC replacement, theres quite a few threads on how to DIY. goodluck mate!
