Instead, look for a car that has an ABC system properly maintained. For instance, I proactively replaced all accumulators and did a fluid change. I have had zero issues in 5 years and really don't expect any until the pump goes, not a costly repair. And there's no comparison in ride quality, ABC is far superior. |
The Seller should be able to provide documentation as to specific ABC maintenance performend. One indicator of a poorly maintained system is ABC color, should be green. If not and/or seller cannot document, beware.

Hello again Smithwm55, I did some further research and think I may have answered my own question. I now assume by "the color should be green" means the fluid used in the system. Here is a decent YouTube video that explains the good, bad, and ugly about the ABC system. At least it was really helpful to me to understand it a little better.
Now I really get why maintenance of the ABC system is so critical. Thank you again for your help and guidance. |
