2003 CL55 AMG Tandem Power Steering Pump replacement PART 2

- I complete the replacing of the tandem power steering pump with a brand new power steering ONLY pump from ebay. the total parts cost with fluids and some new bolts were UNDER $200!
i just did that job on my S55 2003, and thank u very much because of u i did it,,, is the same thing with the line!! the only different i did was the reservoir eliminated completely and installed the reservoir come with the pump, a lot space there now!!!!!thank men for the video!!!
Replace that reservoir with the one from the sclass. It’ll fit right on top of the ps pump. Oh and since you switched to that power steering pump. You can get rid of all the abc lines. That little radiator in the front ? Just follow it and get rid of it. The rear abc lines are harder to trash because you need to lower the sub frame but that’s a easy job too. You’ll need a lift.
I was thinking about doing that but for now keeping them in is not hurting anything and later on if i end up selling the car and the new owner wants the hydraulics back, he or she will not go through a lot of trouble getting back the system going. just thinking ahead. as for the reservoir, i was going to order the one made for the new pump, but again if i can use the parts already there to keep it a budget build, then i rather go that route. thanks for commenting and glad you're enjoying the vids.
BMAN CARS thinking ahead is always good. Congrats on the car. Don’t ever sale it. I plan to keep mines as long as I can. With just a few mods, you can get that car close to 600hp. Mustangs, camaros, chargers, challengers not a problem. If everything is healthy on your car then you should have no problems with most cars on the street. $300 heat exchanger, $100 newer Bosch inter cooler pump, $300 84 sc pulley, no tune required. Start with that. It’ll make the car more responsive.
Do you mean from a sclass with airmatic? Im about to do this conversion on my s600 so Im trying to find out what parts I have to buy
@@oscxj220s87 yes, from a sclass w220 without abc. Part no. 0024668601.
@@bmancars3237 The Tandem ABC reservior is better because you have the removable PS filter under the cap that you can instead of the entire reservior with built in filter. It also isolates the fluid from the engine heat.
I made a simple “extension” mount to hold the bottom of the PS hose.
Otherwise it will sag and cause issues.
Good stuff on extending the ps line that runs under the car. I found that solution a few days after I called around a bunch of shops regarding getting quotes on extending the line......
Just finished this removal. Two things make it easier.
1. Before removing the belt take the pulley off of the pump (impossible once belt is off because there is no way to hold it still - for me belt off then back on). Three inverted torx on front. The pulley will not come out of the car at this point, but it will allow you to access the bolts required to remove the pump. When the pump is free pull the pulley out. It is also not necessary to remove the tensioner pulley, just pull the tensioner back as it is intended and the third front bolt can be accessed.
2. I also removed the rear bracket where it is attached to the engine (easy) for more clearance. Then I removed the gold cylinder from the back of the pump - probable while it was still attached to the car. Now once all the mounting bolts and lines are removed (sorry no help there - just a pain to get to), one can manuver the pulley out then take out the much smaller tandem pump without much difficulty. Thank to BMAN for this post.
What year and pump did you go with????
Buy that steering pump with a reservoir on it, as it is on the S430. I was able to remove the original giant CL reservoir by simply extending the return hose to reach the new reservoir.
Great video with the compatible pumps list huge help idk how there isn’t more upvotes
Ok thanks its crazy because i dont see any on ebay now with the bracket anymore smh. Hopfully they will restock them soon.
No problem! Good luck and have fun.
Damn I must applaud you for the video. No details skipped, it really does help DIYers like me who need a step by step guide to not get lost half way into the job. Most edit out little parts of these jobs and you kind of get road blocked when you don’t expect it since it’s never shown on their videos.
Only question I have is how’s the pump from Hong Kong working out? I was expecting you were going to order a factory or OE from Germany since many don’t trust Chinese quality when it comes to certain car parts. Also, I have the 02 CL55 would I need a pump from 00-02 E500/320 or would yours work the same? Dope background music too by the way, relaxing because these jobs can be stressful.
its been working great. ive done long drives and mostly 0-100 mph speed drives...and works great. the same one i bought is good for all those years. make sure the triangle bracket comes with it. perfect bolt on with that.
@@bmancars3237 which pump did you get if you don’t mind me asking. Ebay is so hit and miss. Also, I found some Godspeed coilovers just for a cheap alternative conversion for now, not sure how long I’m keeping the car so. Just wanted to know if the airmatic to coilover is the same compatibility as the abc to coilover. This is my first ever coilover set and the Godspeed CS is pretty useless. Thanks!
@@bmancars3237 by any chance do you have the link to order this pump with the triangular bracket????
THanks my frind
Where do I connect the ground to? Im almost done with my conversion on s55 and don’t know where to connect the last part of the ground to
What did you do with the electrical connection
Nice video
So that pump is from s class? I thought ML55 pump will fit too. Already have both sway bars but not sure when my ABC will go. Still at 79k miles and I don't drive it much. Getting ready for coilovers just in case
Its for E500, E350. They use the same. I'm pretty sure s500 as well. Are you going to use the rear sway bar from the s500?
@@bmancars3237 not sure about rear sway bar. Just happen to show up on ebay so I bought both. But for sure front will go on when doing coilovers
I also definitely heard ML 55, However that was on a 2003 SL, the triangle bracket is important to remember when ordering
Hey man, any idea if the m112 and m113 power steering would be the same?
I've done the same mods but having trouble with the dash warnings. Have pulled F9\F46 fuses which gives white warning signs which can be cancelled with reset button but I noticed that you didn't have any warnings? Also my yellow ABS light on right side stays lit?
How heavy should the single output pump feel? I have done the conversion and it feels about 50% heavier. Normal?
Have the part number?
What year is the s500 that the power steering is from
Hey i have cl500 2002 will this same pump work for it? My abc shocks were deleted also. Will it still work?
Yes it will definitely work. Just make sure to get the pump that comes with the triangle bracket like mine did.
Hey im doing this on sl500 you happen to know what pump i need and are bars required?
@BMAN CARS Whats the size on that small (I think torque??) screwdriver and did you use that on that nut that was tucked in under the power steering pump area (which is a pain!)? I think that was the nut you mentioned was loose from whoever previously worked on your car
It must be an E-torx (external torx)...either a 12 or 14. But I'm not 100% sure. Hope that helped.
I just rewatched the video and you mentioned Finger Rachet.. Can you specific size for the bolts/nuts on the inside of the power steering pump? Going to harbor freight
@@bmancars3237 perfect👌 I'll look for a kit at harbor freight
@@persianchris2451 i beleive those are M8x55. But do Google it to make sure.
@@bmancars3237 to comfirm, I got the little lugnut (hex shaped and located in the back power steering pump are) out by getting under the car and unscrewing the long screw which is tied to I believe the AC hose (for the compressor I think). That required a mini torx rachet and I think a 3/4 tip or etorx 12. Then back to top used a short #13 wrench and since I was able to move the AC hose out of the way I had just enough room to undo that hiding hex shaped lugnut..... What a pain
When getting rid of your abc suspension are you going to remove the abc fluid tank?
I blocked it off and leaving it where it is.
@bmancars What did you do about the bracket that goes to the frame from back of the original tandum pump? Is it needed?
Since the new pump came with the bracket, I didn't need the other bracket. Also, the new bracket fits exactly to the hole pattern.
I'm talking about the metal bracket thats really tough to get to. One side hooks to the back of tandum pump and the other to the frame underneath the motor I believe.
@@latrelleali8127 oh ok...that one i just left out with the old pump. No need to reinstall that one.
Would this work on my w220 2002 s55 amg converted to coil springs (removed hydrolic suspension)
Yes!...exactly the same set up. Make sure to get the one with the triangular bracket.
@@bmancars3237 bro you're the man.. My dad and I learned alot from you. Where are you located? Cause you said storm and 115 degrees! I'm assuming Texas
@@persianchris2451 southwest desert...Arizona! Thanks I really appreciate you guys.
Whats the plug for on the power steering pump? I have a 01 cl500 with strut master springs
Which plug were you talking about?
Plug on powersteering pump.
I changed the shocks but not the power steering pump. And the abc stuff still on my car. Im trying to change power steering pump.
Guy at strut master told me to get one off a s500 and take resivor bracket as well
@@roberteverett6326 this pump is for a e350 or e500...and it does not need the plug. It is half the size and weighs wayyy less. But the bracket is needed definitely.
How do you fixed ABC- warning lights ?
I haven't done mine yet. But I believe the fuse #9 on the driver side engine bay fuse box should take care of the red abc warning light. Just by removing it. But double check that on mbworld.com forums.
Remvoe F46 and F9 fuses. Then you will get only a white ABC display error at engine start, lick R to remove. Every time you turn on the engine. Yes it will do this forever but that's Mercedes complaining that they don't see the future $10K for all the future ABC repairs and reminding you that you saved all that money :)
Strut masters sells a module to disable ALL alerts.
I put one in and it only took about 20 minutes.
I'm not sure if those crush rings are needed on the gold Hexalobular Bolts. When I got the schematic and asked at the dealership, they said no. (NOTE: I have a w220 2002 s55 amg naturally aspirated and spring converted / hydrolic suspension deleted)
I'm pretty sure I used it on mine. But if you believe the dealership techs, then go without the rings. I guess you'll find out after you tried it, right.
@@bmancars3237true
@@persianchris2451 so did you actually use the crush ring or not???
@@pradaboyk I used it and it was very specific to metrics I think (for euro). I bought all kinds of crush ring sets, including from Harbor Freight but no good
@@persianchris2451 thanks alot,if you dont mind what power steering pump did you end up going with??
