My beloved Cl 600 has finaly let me down. It started handling horribly and a warning appeared on the dash ABC Fault Drive Carefully!
I have brought it to the dealer and they say it needs a "presure release valve" and have quoted me €645 fot the part and 3 hours labour.
I know Im being screwed but by how much?
Car leaked fluid from front left of centre.

That sounds like the suction restrictor valve on the pump is faulty. New pump only as the vale is not available seperatly.

ALL leaks must be fixed too. ABC is great to drive with but a pain to fix.

Why could not this be where the pipe that crosses the chassis rust through, we have had 2 of those but never the valve as yet

Sounds about the right price for a pump. 3 hours labour is pretty good too! They're not a quick job to fit on a V12.

I got the car back from the dealers workshop on Friday evening. It seems to be ok but I havent given it a good going over yet. I must say it was returned to me shining! They hoovered and dusted the inside and washed the outside and applied tyre black to the tyres. I will post again when I get the invoice. Thanks for the replies.
