HI, Nope no compressor kicking in at all.I have bench tested the compressor and it works, I'm thinking it now may be the solenoid switch on the compressor is poor as its not letting the power to the compressor.

Anyone know if a faulty valve block would stop communication between the relay & the compressor? Also if replaced and the problem part, would the car work again without needing to have fault codes removed? Thanks

OK, just thought this over a little more. I got in the car this morning and started it. All I could hear was the Relay in the boot clicking. So this to me signifies that the fuses are all correct and working, the Airmatic Pump is being sent instructions from the ECU to turn on, but the signal is...

Hi All, Well my Christmas present was an airmatic failure on Christmas eve of all things. The rears had both dropped identically, to just within the arches and the fronts were low enough to hear rubbing on full lock. I was able to get home luckily and park on my drive. On Christmas day the rears...

Ok, Turned out to be the Lock mechanism and the drive unit that had gone simultaneously! To access in this situation , you will have to pull at the trim just below the window and pop it off. Mine came off without any damage. You can then get to the drive unit and disconnect the cable that links...

Thanks, but it appears there are no fuses for this. When you slide the key into the emergency release hole there is no definitive contact at all. Feels like you are just turning the key in an empty hole??

Hi All, Earlier today when opening the tailgate on my S212 E350, there was what sounded like a juddering noise coming from the lifter ram that pushes the tailgate open. A couple of times it seemed to open a fraction of the way open and stop. I had the press the tailgate unlock button again to...

Did you solve this in the end? Mine is the same year as yours and is doing the same!

Well the dreaded Flashing lights happened on my car a few days ago. My main battery had been getting low for some time and bought a smart charger to see if I could save buying a new one. Turned out it couldn't charge beyond 60%, so ordered a new battery. With Christmas and small children...

I think there is something about not using Distronic plus (radar cruise) when towing. I have Distronic plus on my car and you can tell it shouldn't be used while towing, as it can brake hard in certain situations, especially when cars pull in front of you. The car may of had lane keep assist on...

I can't explain it myself, however thats what the Kwik fit guys tried to do JOCKcl500, and I'm sure you would tell them to stop if your saw some idiots trying this on your car. I don't know how they were jacking it up. I think maybe, when they jacked the car up initially, the suspension was...

Hi all, it goes in for service with my local Merc specialist in 3 weeks, so will ask him to look at it then. Main Merc dealer had it in for service 2 months after it dropped, but nothing came up in the service report. It doesn't have any issues with holding position and has never dropped over...

Hi, I believe its when the ignition is turned off. It happens after any one wheel is taken off. I did wonder if it was some kind of safety mode to do with the self levelling. I often use the air suspension to raise the car to go down lanes with low clearance, and it all works faultless. Would...

Hi, Just been quoted, £475 from dealer to replace the front only discs and pads. I'm fairly mechanically competent and have changed many previous cars brake discs and pads. Total cost of genuine discs and pads from Newcastle MB dealer is £182 delivered. However, the Air suspension and missing...

Hi, did you get anywhere with this as I need to do the same? Kind regards Jonathon
