Question ABS Pump Help?

Hey Everyone!

Would anyone happen to have a picture of the schematic for a ML320 ABS assembly or something of the sort? I seem to have a leak that is accumulating directly underneath it but I cannot find where the leak is coming from......

I have attached pictures in order to show what the leak looks like. Any help would be appreciated!




Cheers to all and have a great holiday season! Thanks for your help!

There is no schematic of an abs pump, that I am aware of.
Other than the leak, what symptoms or CELs are you getting, if any?

The main symptom I am getting is very faded brakes. The brakes still jump back to their original position, but in order to get the slightest brake action requires me pushing the pedal to the floor. Also the BAS ESP light has come on in the dash.

Scan for codes and post.

W163s are known for soft brake pedals as commented by many other members. I personally have not experienced this. The other common issue is the brake hiss when one depresses the brake pedal or releases it (this is another issue).

Have you checked your brake fluid level?
When was the last time you replaced the brake fluids? (done a complete flush/bleed of the system)

Hey Khomer,

So I tried taking it to a nearby mechanic and they said that they couldn't read the codes...... The brake does hiss a little bit but the booster was recently changed less than a month ago.

The brake fluid level in the resevoir does fall pretty quickly, give or take in about a weeks time the whole thing is pretty much emptied out. No leaks though can be seen on the lines. Just on the bottom of the ABS unit.

The last time I gave the car a brake flush was about 2 years ago...

Other than wiring diagrams, I don't know what you mean by schematics. If you are sure that you have a leak in the brake regulator, schematics won't help.

Try and find a used one with this number and this number only.
