Bleeding Brakes
"Power Bleeder" is preferred...(Do a Search,you can make one from a sprayer)
BECAUSE,you will not risk running out of Brake Fluid. AND it's a one man 10 minute job! Two chambers to the Master Cylinder Reservoir ...The Back Chamber FILLS by overflow from the Filled Front Chamber.'Really hard to see except with a light shining on the Reservoir and viewed from the Passenger side! I suspect that you ran out of fluid,hence the "Pedal to the Floor" symptom. Here are the Official Instructions: http://www.ps2cho.net/downloads/MB%20CD/W124/w124CD2/Program/Chassis/42-0010.pdf

Here is a link you can make your own bleeder from Home Depot.
You can get cap from junk yard.It worked great on my E320 with ASR. Hope this helps. http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed/Campingart/jettatech/bleeder/index.htm

I believe the FSM lists some tips for bleeding the ASR portion of the ABS system.

you need 2 people
to bleed brakes properly...these machines don't work...it's so simple with 2 people...that's my experience...just do it old fashioned way...braking principles have changed that much over many years....really haven't
