The garage haven’t come back with a definite price yet but he’s said it would be cheaper and more reliable going down the spring route. Just wondering if yellowspeed coilovers will fit on mine as it says airmatic rand mine is abc

Yellowspeed will fit. But go to mbworld.org and read the very detailed threads there about the system. They are not the best. Strutmasters probably are...but the ride height is high.

But yes...these kits will work for your car because they replace everything whether ABC or air.

The only thing being on an ABC car you will need to replace the power steering pump as it's a tandem pump with one half for power steering and the other half for ABC.

And recode the powertrain to a 320 to not throw up endless suspension fault codes...

And you will be missing an antiroll bar on the V12 as there is a big stonking engine in the way.

And you will killl the handling and characteristics of the car.

I would never do it to one I like...... The cost of the conversion is also quite high compared to most ABC repair costs.....

Knew the arb was a problem on SL600s but wasn't sure on the S class.

Thanks everyone, it’s gave me something to think about and I’m going to go down the route of repairing the ABC, after I’ve sorted this I think it needs a coil pack £££££

ill let you know how I get on

Coil packs can be repaired now too.

Rather than just ploughing on with ABC repairs and learning the hard way (ie with your wallet) what needs doing, instead why don’t you get as accurate a damage report as possible from your garage, then we can help you source parts at the lowest cost.

We still haven't heard what is wrong with the ABC?
