All the rubber hoses are old and may be deteriorating on the inside, filling the system with debris. IMO, it's best to take the lines to a hydraulic hose shop and have the rubber portions replaced with new hose. And while at it, use 5000 PSI rated hose.

That’s not the case I just honestly love the art and appreciate the beauty of the car. And I also am concerned about the maintenance cost but my 2011 Lexus LS 460L probably is in the same class as cost for repair I would have paid $1150 for an O2 sensor but only paid $253 for it because the mechanic quoted $253 by mistake and they’re honest and stood by their word.

Remove the fuel sending unit from the tank and look inside with a camera. The tank has an internal fuel pump with plastic lines and a fuel pressure regulator. The lines become brittle and fall apart into pieces. The internal lines feed the internal bowl that in turn supply the external fuel pump. The system is designed to keep the bowl full to maintain fuel supply to the pump, even when you have a quarter tank or less. If any of the lines are broken, you will get a buzzing sound from your fuel pump, as it is sucking air and starving for fuel. If you maintain a half tank or more, you won’t have any buzzing noise. The fuel tank is designed to be thrown away and replaced with a new one , when it fails internally. Problem is, it’s no longer available from Mercedes, and if you buy a used tank from a junkyard, it’s probably just as bad as yours. I had to remove my tank, cut it open and rebuild the internals with special submersible fuel hose and stainless steel clamps. Luckily I was able to free up the internal fuel pump and reinstall it. I had to get the fuel tank welded with bronze after and only after several days of cleansing the gasoline vapors using a method in which we had to run an old diesel truck exhaust pipe into the tank and let it burn the vapors for about 3 hours a day , five days straight. It was a painful process but it worked.

Funny I have a S500 2000. I don't have the fuse box on the passenger side, I guess I got a car that's called a pre-facelift so they didn't install it there. My 7.5 number 78 is located in the rear passenger seat. Woke up to go to work today went to turn my key wouldn't turn. I hope this works because my car actually is a great running car I don't have any problems with it at all. When I got it the airmatic system was down. Got that fixed, a little electrical problem cost me about 300. Stop and the fuel pump. At 212,000 mi my transmission went. Replace it for 2100, cars been a joy ever since. I recently had a blowout back in February. That caused my aromatic system to just act up, I got rid of the horror magic system and just put a regular suspension with spring and coils. Trust me, if you guys are having problems with your air mattress system just replace the suspension and you're good to go. I'm heading up to the auto parts store to grab these fuses I'll let you know if it works 🤞🤞🤞

this is basic knowkledge if you have any experience with modified cars, the real major problems that you'll run into with ABC delete is going to be the lack swaybars on the car because factory ABC suspension doesn't need sway bars, you'll have to swap sway bar and control arms from the same model of your car without the ABC suspension to do a proper coilover conversion on any car with ABC suspension
@goldelementautoworks17 күн бұрын
@@zww7033 “Proper coilover conversion” is subjective. I understand that swaybars are a part of modern car suspension design and geometry. These cars were designed with an adaptive suspension not requiring such. Removal of that hydraulic suspension leaves the owner assuming that it will not drive properly without the swaybars. Even the SL350 has swaybars. So isn’t it absolutely necessary for the SL V8 to have them as well? No. Those who have converted without swaybars are not having any issues. The very low, center of gravity and suspension design would call for the car to go off road or airborne for the swaybars to prevent disaster. Without swaybars, the car will simply have reduced anti-sway and lean during excessively fast and heavy steering. Track time would be reduced. Modern cars sit up much higher than the SL. These cars are very low, engineered to stay that way. Dampening settings help to compensate for lack of. So with proper dampening of adjustable coilovers, the SL can be driven safely without swaybars. Myself and thousands of other owners have proven it. Not one accident recorded due to lack of swaybars. So in this instance….I’m not agreeing with ‘basic knowledge’.
