You might have a valve that isn't working right.
I am going to buy another valve and replace seals as I had problems initially and will replace accumulators anyway as they appear to be original. I was told by an Indie Mercedes shop that they have never had any luck rebuilding SLS valves but scores of people on this site report no such problems . . . probably wanted to sell me a new valve!
