Is an ABC fluid flush part of the recommended service? What is the interval? What should the dealer or independent charge?
When I purchased my new 2005 CL55 in 2006 it had been sitting so long I had the problem of a droppy suspension. The dealer ended up replacing the enite system except for the hoses. Alas, it took 4 trips to the dealership until they finally fixed the problem.
They told me that if the car sits for months the ABC filters, valves etc. get gummed up with bits from the manufacturing process.
MB has the free initial oil change in the engine so these bits are removed from the engine.
I think that MB should do the same to the ABC system so these bits are flushed from the system.
I almost insisted on returning the car under the NH lemon law but they finally made it right under waranty. The two AMG specialists at the dealer took it as personal insult that they couldn't fix the problem piecemeal as MBUSA wants them to under waranty so they really worked hard to fix the thing. Thank G*d I have another vehicle!
