I do maintenance, repairs, and upgrades on McLaren and Mercedes AMG primarily, with a sprinkle of some other things. Occasionally I do some drag racing and autocross.
Hello Sean, do you need to replace the drain/fill plugs too or just add new washers? Or get new crush washers (size?). Clutch fill/drain plugs are same size washers too? Thanks
@McMedics3 күн бұрын
You can replace them, isn't necessary.
@isacbastos79404 күн бұрын
In my humble opinion, this happens because the 570 and 600 don't have a water drain hose for the windshield. So when it rains or you wash the car, water ends up right on the ABS unit. Whenever I work on these cars, I always add a windshield water drain hose to fix this problem.
