R230 restilings
Hi, I would like to know if ABC problems were solved or mitigated on 2006 restiling or in the one at 2008 with the new front design. Interested in exact details of each restiling, I’m looking to buy an sl500 from 2006 or newer.
Many thanks for your help

There are no real "problems" with ABC. It is simply a complex hydraulic system that will need some periodic maintenance on its parts. High-pressure hoses can leak, seals will wear out, and rubber diaphragms in accumulator/dampeners will fail. There were some revision to the MY2007 version that improved certain functions and may need slightly less maintenance over time, but it will still have parts that will need replaceing over time.
