Hey can you show videos on how to change parts like oil, oil oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, axillary battery, and also say under cover parts that one would expect on the vehicle when taking the covers off. I would love to see a vide on the bottom of the car and all the different components. Many people are just afraid to ask but I am confident with such video's presented you will a true creator on here. I'm happy to suggest other things, i.e. top up or flush coolant (how which colour should we use) The W212 and S212 is so highly viewed here in Sydney so many people I talk to you say they just look at TH-cam (this is one site I really want to grow here). Happy to make more suggests on Mercedes. S212 AMG Wagon (factory body kit and sports suspension is the one I drive but I know many other people with estates here.
Unfortunately work on lots of different makes & models, so I can record these type of videos but it will have to be on any model that arrives in 😬😬 But I will do my best with Mercedes 😉👍👍
Incline angle is important to measure and enter in calibration! I dont know about w212 but in w213 estate on calibration of rear axle its important. If you set level to 15mm and set incline angle to -0.5, 0, 0,5 or 1 then the car will be in different height after end of calibration. If you repeat the calibration so there will be another height values different from 15mm. fx +15mm and incline angle +1 give -6mm after calibration!!
It is very fast becoming the scanner that I grab first. The Snap on doesn’t have a search function in live data, which with the amount of pids nowadays it just takes too long to customise. So at this point Chris I do highly recommend it & I only have it around 3 months. But as you know they all have there strengths & weaknesses on differing models 😉👍👍
Does’t go down again ? Mine as the same issue , no leaks at all , but the mechanic saw that the suspension was descalibrated , i think that was the problem cause start to lower one side , and than the other to equilibrate …
Does it show an disturbance before at airmatic? I had an W166 / ML 350. All four tires are lower as normal and suspension is harder as usual. Why does this appear by itself? Must there be an mailfunction or would calabration do it? Thanks!
I have a question I have a mercedes w213 and the rear end of my car goes down the same as in the video, only lower when I start the car it immediately goes up and is at normal height. When I turn car off, it goes down sometimes after half an hour sometimes after 24 hours. The car does not have any faults on the screen. The first time it happened was when the mechanic lifted the car with the ignition on and the car showed an error, "the car is too high, drive max 35 km/h" then he tried to correct the same in the diagnostics, but the error did not disappear then he removed the fuse from car and the error disappeared but now my car keeps going down can you please tell me what to do
Unfortunately I cannot tell you what to do to fix it, but did you try doing the relearn as I did ?? Also do a good visual inspection in the suspension position sensors. The break quite often 🤔🤔
Have had similar issues with mine the past year. Fully deflated when I come out in the morning. However main issue is driving up hill it decides to lower fully. Once im driving downhill or level it realises and pumps back to normal height. Level sensors rather than the bags themselves perhaps?
You can look at the level sensor readings in live data first & then try this reset first. It would be far cheaper than an airbag to start with Cormac 🤞🤞
W212, 310.000 km on the clock. Can drop down 2 days in row all way down, or hold for 1 week without problem. Always parked in a warm garage. Sensors or airbags ? What can it be 🤔
Took an 09 320D for a test drive today. The NCT on it went like this 2017 60k miles 2018 68k miles 2020 120k Kilometres 2021 135k Kilometres Etc Etc No NCT in 2019. Like what's with the change from miles to Kms on the NCT???
Hi thank you for informative video. My rear air suspension drops however when i turn the car on the compressor doesnt kick in at all to raise the air suspension. I have a snap on scanner and i manually am able to raise the car back up. What could be the issue please? MB CLS W218
The most common issue is ‘suspension level sensors’ seizing or breaking. A visual check of where the sensors are connected to each suspension could find the answer to you problem 🤞🤞🤞
@@kennedysgarage3281the level sensors are definitely working. I have checked physically and scanner is showing they are operating. Im thinking its because calibration hasnt been done so car wont operate the pump as doesnt know what height to set at. The scanner i have tells me level calibration hasnt been performer but it doesnt allow me to calibrate without a romess inclinometer
Hello! I have a small problem with my s212. so yesterday I noticed when I was going to replace the brakes in the front I raised the car in the usual order with a jack so that the rear wheel was also raised a little! I then noticed that it was a little higher than usual on one side. to note, the car is lowered in the back with a computer! so I took my OBD scanner and I got into the calibration adjusted a few times and at the end I got a message that the level calibration is not completed and I can't access the values anymore I get that the level values must be the same. it also gives error code 556E00 cannot delete the error code! what do I need to do to be able to access the calibration again? grateful for answers!
First it might be worth visually looking at the rear suspension position sensors & connecting arms, the raising and lowering could have snapped/broken something when moved a larger amount 🤔🤔 As for the calibration, try a different scanner. Or drive the car if possible a larger distance to reset things & allow your scanner in. If these fail disconnect the batteries overnight 🤔🤔
Having problems on an S212 350cdi, won’t let me calibrate. Car has sagged all the way down, cannot lift manually without being in the calibration process. When i try to enter it says "Cannot perform operation: level height sensor values are out of range", so i checked and they’re both the same value, +7mm. Even tried to jack up the rear to get higher values, would not help at all.
Could the be a fault with one of the level sensors or connecting rods. Make sure to do a good visual examination of the suspension parts first & move forward from there 🤞🤞
@@kennedysgarage3281 Changed both sensors and rods😅 Tried adjusting both, would’nt work no matter what height they were set at. Currently driving basically scraping the tow hook, very bouncy😂
@@kennedysgarage3281 Compressor and relay works with direct power, can force inflate it with star but only lasts for about 10km. Bags hold equal ammount of air until it suddenly deflates and warning light comes up in dash😅 Do you know the valid range of the sensors is? On star it said the lowest tolerable value is -10mm, tried multiple heights but wont let me calibrate. Really starting to get annoyed by this car😂
@@mathiasjensen2520 I don’t, I find with all this kind of stuff I have to do a quite a bit of research before tackling. Just to jog my brain on how certain systems. Possibly .5v being the lowest & 4.5v being the highest you should see. There can be a lot of testing before you prove what is actually wrong, but good luck with it 🤞🤞🤞
@kennedysgarage3281 I figured it out! I didn't do the fill struts actuation, so I was trying to raise the struts 2-3bar under pressure. Compressor and valve block are new from fixing other issues. Only took me 3 months to fix this suspension
@@Gidenkidenk SAME now I'm at the point to set axle angles/ inclination. I put them all at zero I have no idea where they should be🤷♂️ 2011 E550 4matic . I replaced the compressor, the front struts the rear airbags the relay and the valve block.. Pretty much everything LOL
Any Mercedes mechanics out there ?I set my E550 4matic -5 mm in the rear and -6mm in the front. I set all 4 axle angles at zero 🤷♂️ I have no clue but the car seems to sit nice like it's in sport mode
Peter I'm gonna swap my Mazda for a 14 Civic 1.6 diesel. 9.5k...damn good price for a 14 Civic with lowish miles...but then I'm thinking why would I do that...then I'm thinking I'm gonna sound proof the Mazda and put in Bose speakers...then I'm also thinking of putting a turbo on my Mazda's puny 1.6 engine...is that even possible??
Why would I spend 9k on a newer car when I can put 9k into this one and then stick the MZR engine into it. You can get an MZR for 1400e. You can get the 1.6 engine for 300e hmmmm!
No fault codes, Already check position sensors data and are ok, tryed recalibrating all system and nothing changed, it rise only in high speeds, then if i stop and turn off and then on the engine it returns to its normal height
@@kennedysgarage3281just tried that today, replaced relay and still the same problem, it get stuck in high level while driving in highway, tried removing relay and now its working fine

Range Rovers have that air suspension. Its like a bag thing with an air hose going in that seems to leak a lot.
Exact same set up 💪
Does’t go down again ?
Mine as the same issue , no leaks at all , but the mechanic saw that the suspension was descalibrated , i think that was the problem cause start to lower one side , and than the other to equilibrate …
My one wasn’t dropping, it just sat lower all the time. The calibration just made it sit up a little higher 🤔
Does it show an disturbance before at airmatic? I had an W166 / ML 350. All four tires are lower as normal and suspension is harder as usual. Why does this appear by itself? Must there be an mailfunction or would calabration do it? Thanks!
This procedure should only need to be done if you want to adjust the vehicle height. My one looked lower on the back beforehand 👍👍
