My 230te has sprung a leak in the self levelling system pipework just forward of the rear axle. It looks as though the pipe has corroded at one of the fixing points. The rest of the pipework looks sound. I understand from reading MB forum that this is not uncommon. One suggested solution was to cut the pipe and fit a connector of some sort. I read that a swagelok fitting (suggested by Number-cruncher) could be a solution. Has anyone successfully completed this type of remedy and in particular, any advice on which swagelok or other type of fitting would be suitable - Having contacted swagelok, there are so many types of fittings. A key question is 'what is the pressure in the self levelling system?' I assume the self levelling system pipework is 6mm in diameter and that the fluid used would be non-corrosive for replacement flexible connectors. Grateful for any advice and guidance! Am in West London area.
