    W220 S55k - Hydraulic fluid overflowing ABC dipstick after journey

    alexanderfoti - sorry to bother you, but I remember you gave advice to me on ABC matters before I bought the car. Pretty sure you’re an expert :) - do you know of a good source for the accumulators needed for an S-Class? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    W220 S55k - Hydraulic fluid overflowing ABC dipstick after journey

    Does Star have a way of checking accumulators? (I’m not losing height overnight, but if I sit with engine running/idling for a long time, say 10-15 minutes, I feel like the car drops a cm or so suddenly - whether that is one corner or all, I’m not sure) - Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi All - I need to swap out a failed A/C compressor on my 2003 S55K - for info,the vehicle has ABC.

    INA Brand ok for pullys and tensioner ?

    I don't have experience of using INA parts yet, but I have a water pump from them (for a Fiat Ducato engined motorhome) which I will be fitting soon. I took a long time in choosing the aftermarket supplier and settled on INA for whatever reason.

    INA are supplied / a brand managed by the Schaeffler group. They are an established aftermarket supplier around the world. I think it should be ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ML270 - Central locking has got confused

    Reading around various MB forums, there seems to be a consensus towards the AAM (All Activity Module) having a fault when problems such as the one I am experiencing occur. I could find a 2nd hand module for under £200 with same part number (and as the vehicle is 2004, there should not be issues...

    ML270 - Central locking has got confused

    Siren/battery is showing a fault .. the ML is not my area of knowledge (on the W220, I’ve just ignored alarm issues in the past). Where is the siren/battery located?. Also, some fault images below.

    ML270 - Central locking has got confused

    Hi All I have an ML270 (2004) and the central locking is playing up - My scanner shows the car thinks all the doors are closed when they are open (including the tail gate) , and open when they are shut - Which means the doors will not lock when they are closed, but will when they are open (off...
