hi all.

I have read ALL the threads on the above, but none of them relate to my specific question.

I have a 1990 190e 2.5 16v. It has the SLS but also has the ASD. This means the SLS and the ASD are on the same hydraulic circuit.

This means that if I go down the normal route of blocking of the SLS pump to remove the SLS I will no longer have a hydraulic feed for the ASD/Diff and my traction control will not work - bad!

I have spoken to a few people in the know and according to this picture, which shows the pipework for the SLS/ASD circuit ( http://home.snafu.de/cjm/Schalter/asd_diagram.jpg ) it appears that you can plug lines P3 and E2 to disable the SLS and keep the ASD going - GREAT, just what I am after.

I now have my suspension set up and want to install it by removing the SLS. Does anyone know if it be ok to remove the rear shocks and accumulators and then block the lines where the hydraulic lines join the accumulators? I was going to get a metal plug made up that screws on to the end of the hydraulic line to keep the circuit from loosing all its fluid - is that ok?

Many thanks!
