Hi folks!
Just curious what the group's opinion is on changing/bleeding brake fluid on newer street driven cars (i.e. CLK500 @2000mls/year) with ABS: 1) Yes, every 2 years or 2) I have never done it and my car drives just fine Also, how much different is the work with ABS, compare to our 914s? Just trying to get some education before talking to my "new" car mechanic. Thanks, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) dc PS: I know this topic/questions will be opinionated. |

thanks for all the feedback!
I spoke to my local MB indy guy and they charge a flat rate of $100 for the change. i'll just let them do it und use the spare time to work on my teener. that's a win-win. |
