Hey.
I have an 2003 SL500 which have lots of problems. i ordered an full diagnostics from Mercedes dealer, but i have some additional questions.
First of all.
ABC problems.
I have these symptoms.
sometimes car dont rise or lower itself- it stays down and after few days it goes completely down., but sometimes after disconnecting the battery or driving around around, it raises itself and works fine. And problems dissapear form screen
Im gonna Copy-Paste the Invoice with the dealership.

CUSTOMER STATES THE CAR WILL LOWER
DOWN AFTER SITTING. SOMETIMES IT PUMPS
RIGHT BACK UP, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT
red abc warning is on and the left front is very low.
Diagnose:
found the suction restriction valve on the pump is
unplugged. while running short test the car left a large
puddle of abc fluid on the floor from front end.
inspected for leaks and found the pump is leaking
from behind the pulley. need to replaced abc pump
first, then diagnose any further problems.

Okay, if there is a leak or something was unplugged, then why it lowered it sometimes and sometimes not? sounds like a electronical problem more?

2. B. RETRACTABLE HARD TOP IS NOT WORKING.
THE TRUNK PARTITION SWITCH MAY NOT BE
HOOKED UP
Dignose:
found the trunk partition switch is not plugged in.
found the wiring for the switch is plugged into another
spot that is wrong. plugged in the switch and it seems
to work ok. the top still will not work due to the faulty
pse module. also found the top flaps are out of
postilion and the hold down brackets are broken.

3.C. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PSE. TRUNK
WILL NOT OPEN/CLOSE PROPERLY AND THE
LOCKS DON'T WORK
found the fuse for the pse is blown. replaced fuse and
now the pse runs, but the pump is very weak. after
running for 30 seconds the fuse blew again. removed
pse module and found the area around the pump is
very wet. inspected the pse and the module itself is
ok, but the pump is burnt. need to rebuild the pse and
install a new pump. the 3rd brake light is missing and
letting water get into the trunk.
4.
D. INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR WILL GET STUCK
IN WHATEVER GEAR ITS IN AND WON'T SHIFT.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES
ran short test and found fault codes for transmission
speed sensor stored. cleared faults and they did not
come back. recommend replacing the trans conductor
plate.

Has anyone had these problems, and have used same repair which ended the problems. or what else might there occur


And who is offering needed parts cheap?

 

These are the results from diagnostics which were sent to me by email.
this is the copy paste from the worksheet.
on CAPS LOCK is the issue what i said to them
and under that is their response to me after they diagnose my car...
