OK, I just changed all my Accumulators. I check with a reliable source on how to change them.

You do not need to relieve pressure or bleed the system. You can jack up one wheel at a time and change each one. There was no pressure, You unscrew old one and screw on new one. That's it!
You will need to add some fluid after you drive car for a few blocks. the level will look like it's full when you remove cap, but you will still be able to add fluid.

No codes, drives much better and I does not get an error message anymore when raising car.

I've confirmed they're different at least 40 times. Thread size and pitch are different, made from different materials a different way, a different color and shape.

I'm assuming 750S accumulators are the same - can anyone confirm? If they are, getting a used set from a breaking 750S could be an option.
