Glad you enjoyed it

Depending on your cost to replace your pump the coil overs are another option they seriously work don't let them talk you went to sway bars just simply get your struts were placed You know how's the ride quality Well that depends In soft old man's mode I would say it's a little bit rougher In this Sport mode which I drive I'm thinking this about the equivalent and abc mode it's softer. Easily adjustable I've been driving this car for three months and I think it's the best season i've ever made

The brittle connectors are a real dilemma... my secondary air pump connector shattered under the slightest of pressure.

I think that my secondary air pump connector also fell apart, and it is now just the individual lines... so you have to get the polarity right, lol.

I just leave the rear bolt out. The two in the front are fine enough.

Great video but when it comes to these pumps, I only get Oem. It’d be great if there were a company that could build them better than Oem. Electric ratchet makes this job so much easier as well.

They don’t make these pumps anymore, so you have to buy refurbished. I had good luck on the 2nd refurbished one from my own pump.

You should send your pump to Germamy, shipping isn't that much and it worth avoiding bad rebuilds.

If I sent it to Germany, it would have taken weeks and likely more expensive due to VAT fees. I got my pump back in 3 days!

Great video. I added to my playlists for abc repairs. The only suggestion I have is that you rotate the pulley with the reservoir attached to fill the pump with fluid first before you start the engine. Ideally you would do a fluid flush and abc filter change on the old pump so that the new one has fresh fluid only.

How much are the abc filters?

Wondering where initially the fluid was leaking from, thanks.

It was internal to the pump.

@ScottTheEng perfect, replaced the pump, and two accumulators at the same time...which caused it initially not to be able to rodeo, due to the empty accumulators..but after a day of driving all was good.

I'm in the middle of changing a pump. I just purchased my sl 500 a week ago. Seller said pump was just replaced. Everything was great forc1 day lol. Steering rack pinion seal would dump fluid out unless I turned wheel hard left or right then it would stop leak and be fine. I had to do this routine each time I started it, until yesterday rack stopped leaking! I was thrilled for about 5 minutes until I lost My ABC completely, along with almost all pump pressure. When I took pump off today the banjo bolt with screen was in the back. I wonder if that caused a new pump to let go. My power steering always worked fine. It's my understanding that fuilds don't mix so I'm confused. There seems to be a direct correlation that when my steering stopped leaking I lost my ABC. Any imput is appreciated! Great video, but I actual had 4 boots holding pump on, 2 in front and 2 in back. Previous mechanic only had 4th bolt finger tight and the other rear was a 13mm.....2006 SL500
