[W126 Coupe] SL top hoist

[Jay Manek]

Hi All,

Regarding ASR, in Europe this was an option and only a few had this... not 
sure about you guys across the pond.

Yes ASR is a pain to diagnose but only because there are not many people who 
understand how it works...

There is a lot of info on the web about it..

My SEC has ASR and I have to admit that when my light came on i panicked.. 
luckily it was just a bad wheel sensor... also a change of brake fluid 
seemed to help..


Many Thanks & Regards
