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. |

Generally if you are just doing a fluid flush, then it is no different than a non-ABS car. If replacing components and air gets trapped in, then you may (not always) need special equipment to activate certain circuits of the ABS system to properly bleed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |
