Power Steering Pump went out....

And of course took the ABC with it. Which left one hell of a mess in my garage. Problem started simple enough, was out driving, just as I got home and was pulling in the garage my ABC Visit Workshop came on. I pulled in and parked, didn't think much of it since it wasn't the big red warning. Later on I went out to the garage and smelled something. Popped the hood on the SL and found some ABC/Power Steering fluid sprayed in the front drivers area, not much, decided to check more into it in the morning. Next day I go out and back the car out to find the mess below. Had it towed the my Indy and he says the pump went, and it went all over my garage floor it seems.

ABC Pump

Sorry to hear that the pump went. I had my ABC Pump go this year 03 SL500 68,000 miles. Cost about $6,000.00 to replace by MB.
Good luck
Lou

Thanks, I was told $2K just for the pump, waiting on the X-warranty co to come out and take a look for approval..... Mine is just over 80K miles...
