Part Number: J-24-BR
General:
To defeat ABC light on dash, remove both ABC fuses from fuse box under hood, you can clear the error message by hitting the menu button on the steering wheel, or most model years can have the ABC system disabled in the ECU via a Star/Dealer level diagnostic tool.
To block off the old lines you have 2 options,
1) Block them off using ABC block off plugs readily available on the internet.
2) Swap in a power steering pump from a non ABC model, corresponding to OEM part numbers 0024668101 or 002466201
Make sure the replacement pump includes the mounting bracket, as your current mounting bracket cannot be used on the new pump.
Will fit SL500 cars with ABC Suspension.

Seems to be a good buy rides pretty much the same, wish i knew my abc light wouldn’t cut off. Hoping you have a piece for that?
Thank you seems to be too superficial to say to BC Racing & CoiloverDepot for what they have done for any owner of a Mercedes Benz SL (R230) 2003+... These coilovers are THE HOLY GRAIL!! The R230 had a well over engineered(numerous vulnerable joints/connections)suspension (hydraulic) from Mercedes that led it to be vulnerable for reliability. Mercedes had offered a conventional suspension on European models only... Nothing stateside. You may find other companies in the US offering a solution for the R230 suspension. I have researched this for over 7 years...CoiloverDepot and BC Racing are the ideal solution for the adjustability and quality!! Lastly, I am attaching a photo to assist any owner of a R230 in regards to the rear coilovers. Since these are adjustable, you'll want access to the top of the coilover. My picture shows you where to cut a simple access hole that also saves you hours of needless labor trying to get at it-
Oh...One last tip...On the rear R&R...Remove only the 1 bolt on the lower control arm closest to the differential. Much easier!! You'll also need a T-55 for the bolt head!! Jack the exhaust up to have room to completely remove the bolt out. So simple :)
Best wishes to BC Racing & CoiloverDepot for continued success! You ROCK!!
