FOR GENERATION 1 ABC ONLY! PLEASE open and read the first three related items listed below for a full description of this conversion kit. Kent includes all 8 of his very detailed video installation guides.
In this 13-minute instructional video Kent will walk you through the steps of installing a standard (non-ABC) fluid reservoir tank on a standard (non-ABC) power steering pump if you choose to remove the original tandem pump.
Applies to 2002 to 2006 R230 SL 500 with ABC suspension- After watching all the videos and reading forums, I bet you never thought it would be this easy!
In this 7.5-minute video, Kent will share some tips on getting to the bolts and nuts, removing the old ABC pump, and fitting in a standard M113 power steering pump.
When doing a coil-over conversion, do not leave the original pump and hydraulic lines in place as some suggest. You are only asking for future problems. Worry in the background will not be eliminated!
In this 6+ minute video, Kent will demonstrate how to locate and cut out 3-inch (approx.) holes in your trunk carpet to allow you to remove the bolts and the wire attached to the top of your ABC strut. Then you can replace it or install coil-over shocks in their place.

This is part 3 of a three-part series on converting your 2003 to 2006 SL500 to coil-over shock absorbers. It is 27 minutes in length. The complete series is 1 hour and 27 minutes and was too long to upload as one video.
Anytime you need to replace your rear shocks/struts, you must drop the rear control arm. If you are doing other rear suspension work, you may need to drop it as well. Kent came up with this tool kit when he was converting his SL500 to conventional coil-over shock absorbers.
This is part two of a three-part series on converting your 2003 to 2006 SL500 to coil-over shock absorbers. It is 41 minutes in length. The complete series is 1 hour and 27 minutes and was too long to upload as one video.
I call this the hidden and forgotten bushing. Why? Because you can not see it to inspect it, it hardly ever gets changed. When these bushings wear out you will feel "weird" movement in your rear end, especially going over rough ground.
I know that many, including some coil-over sellers, recommend just leaving the original pump and hoses in place and plugging them where they attach to the four struts, but I can almost guarantee you will have problems in the future, either with a noisy failing pump, leaking hydraulics, or a possi
In this 20-minute step-by-step instructional video, Kent will show you how to remove your early LH-Jetronic M119 fuel delivery system, overhaul it on the bench using our FID6 kit, and reinstall it back under the rear of your Benz.
In 1990 the R129 was the first Mercedes to have a cabin air filter. In fact, it may have been one of the first cars that even thought about the idea. I love cabin air filters and I find they hardly ever get changed. Located under the hood back by the firewall.
This is the best quality aftermarket blower we have seen and comes with a 24-month warranty. Be sure to change your cabin air filter at the same time. See below to order.
PLEASE do not order in error! Check your engine first with the cover off. It should look exactly like the one you see in the picture below. LH-Jetronic fuel injection is electronic, so it does not require a fuel accumulator at the car's back end.
Fits most M113 V8 Mercedes from 2000 to 2006 included the S500, E500, and SL500. If this part fails, you will get a check engine light and a specific P code.
For E430, ML430, E500, E55. S500, CL500, and SL500 through 2003. Every M112 V8 I have worked on starts making front engine bearing noise around 90K to 100K. Almost like clockwork! This is a service you will want to perform whether you have had your Benz for a long time or just purchased one.

Each fuel pump has a critical check valve mounted at the pump outlet. The purpose of this check valve is to prevent fuel from leaking back through the pump after the engine has been shut down. Constant fuel pressure must be held in the fuel system for the engine to restart quickly.

This DIY job is very important for a number of reasons. Changing the fluid and the filter every 40k to 50k will extend the life of your power steering pump and steering rack. Changing out the reservoir will allow you to replace the seal between the tank and the pump.
THESE ARE GENUINE BOSCH. Do not purchase the cheaper aftermarket regulators as we have found they do not last. This voltage regulator that bolts on to the back of your alternator. This is the common failure point and when it does you will not be getting any charge to your battery.
This is becoming one of the common transmission fluid leaks on these older automatics. If the trans is leaking fluid in small puddles while the car sits for longer periods suspect this seal. You can be fooled thinking it is coming from the pan gasket.
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE ORDERING. SET OF 8 INJECTORS ONLY.
This kit includes two pump motor rubber seals and one plastic plug for the extra hole (if needed). Some tanks have only one pump, some have one pump and one plug, and some have two pumps. and one plug. So we give you this combination to cover most tanks.

This kit fits many models of Mercedes from the late 1970s up into the late 1990s (see list below). Pump problems abound and when you change the pump you are much better off to change the old rubber seal and brittle washer braided hose at the same time.
