ASD fluid question
 

Hi, my hose which is between the ASD reservoir and the engine just got a puncture and spilled all of the fluid out. Can I drive the car without the ASD fluid ? Will it damage the differential ? I'm asking because I need to use the car in order to find a hose.

Your car doesn't have ASD. It has hydraulic rear suspension if it is the same as my 16v. You can drive it, but it could tear up the pump..Also, it will spill the rest of the fluid out because the bottle has a return from the pump.

Actualy it has ASD. I know this because I
changed my differential this monday. The old as well
as the new diff have pipes from the haudraulic system
connected to them (they are for the ASD). Also when I searched to buy a new diff I went to a mercedes shop where they looked at my
old diff and confirmed that it had ASD (I check this
because they offered me two diffs - one with ASD
and the other without ASD). By the way my car is
a 1992 euro model.
