Good info but I still am looking for the answer to the questions which are :
1. does the w210 with 4matic require any special electronic gadget to bleed the ABS system properly ?
2. does the ignition has to be ON while bleeding brakes ?
3. with the car off, can the brakes be bled just as effectively ?

thanks
