I have gravity bleed my 124 many a times, it seems the ABS does not
affect the brake system when not engaged.

On my 82 300SD (126 non ABS) I had to replace the little rubber caps on top
of the brake reservoir before I could pressure bleed. Otherwise brake fluid
squirted out from the old, rotted rubber caps. By the way, I use a
purchased Motive Products bleeder, which is a commercial version of the

Hope this helps.

Good ideas. Thanks!
I suspect your ABS requires higher PSI to bleed vs non-ABS. But that's
hearsay and a guess, not based on my experience.
I bought the rubber domes from the stealer. As I recall, they are part of
the low-fluid sensor system. The old domes just pry up; they snap on or in

I do remember discussion from 10 or so years ago that ABS does require
higher pressure to pressure bleed.

When ABS is working correctly, I never noticed much difference. It

I don't think either of my 2 84 SDs have ABS. Yours did?

Yeap my 84 did...
Had to replace one wheel sensor and replaced ABS module with used one from
a 420SEL, in the time I owned the car..

Thanks Trampas. Where've you been hiding? Good to have you back.

When I switched my first SDL over to DOT5 I let the whole system
gravity bleed, then in stalled a new Master Cyl. That was the cause
for the switchover anyway. I figured as long as I have a nice clean

with water,
Excellent! Glad to hear it's working out after all
