ABC Problem
Hi All,
My first ABC problem, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Its a 2002 SL500. I was driving along today at a slow speed in a parking lot when without warning from the right front side of the car a large amount of whitish mist came out from the right front wheel well area. It continued for a few minutes and was followed by a red ABC drive carefully warning. I looked under the car and it defiantly looks like there was some kind of fluid leak from the right side. Any Ideas what it could be. Looked at a schematic of the ABC system and it looks like the major components are on the left side. Could be just a hose or a issue with the right front shock
I now have 82000KM. The previous owner had the "Front B/S Shock Absorber Valve" replaced at 75,000km which was almost exactly 12 months ago. On the parts list they refer to it as the "Front Shock Valve". Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
Markus
