    My suggestion don’t try to be too clever even if it drops start the car in the morning and it pops up itself and stays there during the driving , no need to spend any penny on it . What about your balls drops what are you gonna do to keep them up ,you worry too much for nothing .

      I have the same problem and I do not suffer from any damage except during high bumps, and I reduce my speed greatly so that nothing from behind hits the ground.

      But if the problem is neglected for about a year, is it possible that it will touch the ground or will the problem magnify even more?

      have a 2012, W212 Estate with the same problem. It has 151,000 miles up. I left it to a Merc Pro and he diagnosed it that the Batteries were low on Volts. So he replaced the original 2021 Batteries and 2 days later the car was perfect. It even raise up while parked up overnight. Success story..??

    I am hard on cash, mercedes AKA Christine is making me take her to mechanic too many times all for the airmatic suspension. I have 2004 e 500 and my rear tires are always having problems. Last night I found one side in rear passenger leaning while the driver side was normal. I want to do as much as I can to DIY this never ending problem. I bought a OBD-II EOBD scanner from walmart. Will it work or is the scanner too cheap?

    It's the brass valve leaking on top of the struts. They close at 7-8 Bar (normal level) when there are ok. Replace the valves and car keeps leveled even if you rip the whole Airmatic system out.

      My thought also. All the diagnostic tool did was to advise that things are not as specified - I think that was fairly obvious anyway.

  • @thomasjefferson4085
    @thomasjefferson4085 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The condition described here seems unlikely that both airbags have a leak. It is possible that air is escaping from another part of the airspring system for both bags to be down? If both airbags are leaking, you are in for a hell of a lot of money to replace them. Replacement can be very labor intensive. The airsprings alone cost over US$1200 each but the labor will take this repair job closer to $3500 - $4000.
