Add me to the list of failed SBC...

I just saw the list of fixes performed by me and the first owner of the car. Which was done meticulously @ MB… I noticed something about SBC bracket, and also the service rep at MB dealer told me there was pink paint on the SBC plug. That means something was repaired or replaced. Not sure what they means. Anyone care to shed some light on this?
I had them run my vin and they said all the corrections and updates have been performed and your car is perfect. Whatever that means.

the replacement of the part isn't really what takes a long time its the actual activation, bleeding, testing the new unit that takes so long.
also its not really dependent on mileage its the number of stops. i have 116k with the original and no software update. still have 10 months of warranty though.

Had my fronts go on that too, but it's not too bad to work on. With STAR I got that down to about 40 minutes per front shock.
You know what would have been great on MBs part when designing this car? A dash message like with almost everything else that says"SBC Service Due, Visit Workshop" BEFORE about, oh, say a decent chunk before the SBC says "F U". That just might have been smart.

Maybe you can answer me...I talked with my service guy at RBM Atlanta and he stated at my next service they will be working on the SBC unit (along with many other things). He had mentioned the hydraulic reservoir and fluid. I would have to call back and verify. I have never had any brake messages or SBC issues.

I got the dreaded SBC light last week and took the car in to the dealer and waiting to get the phone call from the SA. Where did you guys find the SBC pump? I haven't checked the dealer for their price but I can't find it online (A0054318112). Always helps to have some price leverage. Thanks in advance!

I would think you pay core charge till you send yours and they refund. Most Companies do business like that.
I have the White BRAKE Message. I put it on DAS and I exceeded my Brake Count, So I'm going to just reset my Count too Zero and Re-Activate the SBC Pump. but brakes work fine without it.

Bosch site says 480.00 GBP which comes out to $725 USD. why go through the hassle, ebay price is exactly the same for brand new part shipped from USA
I keep finding 2 sets of part #s for the same part. Whats the difference between these parts ?

The dealer wants $2122 to replace the SBC pump. Knowing roughly what the range of costs for the part are online, it seems to me their price is on the high side. Curious what range of prices others here have had to pay for this repair?

The pump has the 10 warranty on it, unlimited mileage. The pump comes with the new pressure resv. Pump/resv together is about $750~. And even though its one unit like that if you get message and its the pressure resv/accumulator then its on you. Thanks MB!!
The resv can be bought sep and is about $400~. If you if get the message for the resv pressure then whole replacement is really the better option but I rolled the dice and am doing the resv only.
