2005 SL500 Mercedes
SL500

I own a 2005 SL500 and I am having problems with the ABC system. It is a intermittent problem, one day it works the next day it want. There is no fluid leaking from struts are lines. The car is not driven much I only have 70,000 miles on it. I have been told to drive it more and that might fix the problem. I would like to know If anyone else has had this problem and have any suggestions.

plteague001, you have posted in the R129 forum (model years up to 2002); your post belongs into the R230 forum.

There are contamination issues in the ABC system, with the ABC valves not being able to close completely, and those can indeed subside with more frequent use.
