Brake system flush on cars with ESP
mbtech208. Normally I flush my brake systems with a pressure bleeder at 20 psi. I drain the reservoir, refill it with new fluid and bleed about 8 ounces per caliper. My question regards cars with ESP, such as my 1999 E430. Is my current procedure sufficient? I have an M/B Maintenance Manual covering cars since 1994, and I noticed that some cars have a bleed valve on the ASR/ABS unit. I can find no such valves on the E430. Unfortunately, the manual does not cover the W210 cars. Any guidance on the correct procedure for this car will be appreciated. Thanks.
