Hi all, One for the technically minded out there. Issue driving me slightly nuts on my 1998 SL600. Im slowly rebuilding what I can on the car (documented on another thread) and have recently had the rear lower arms off for new outer ball joints and to check ADS2 struts, rear ARB, ARB...

Hello. I raised the car on a scissor lift (all wheels hanging free) but forgot to press the Lock button on the hydraulic ADS before doing so. Just wondering if I am going to cause problems with the ride height sensors etc by forgetting to Lock the suspension in place first? Any procedure I need...

Hi everyone, Have just taken the plunge and purchased a 1999 SL600 Sport....I am a sucker for punishment and the V12 lure was too strong for me! The history on the car was great, 2 owners only...always main dealer serviced and cherished etc. It is a wonderful machine, the engine is simply a...

Hello everyone, Getting confused abour my 1998 sl320 (v6 model) Abs & Ads lights were coming on intermittently - local MB garage detected faulty multi-hydraulic suspension valve. Since this was expensive and the car had just been on blocks for one month ( Wheel refurbishment) I decided to...

Hi all I'm a forum newbie so please be kind! Just bought a 93 SL500 with 18K on the clock! trouble is the ADS lamp intermittently comes on and the suspension then defaults to "rock hard" it usually resets if the car is left for an hour or so. Any ideas? and can anybody recommend an indie...

Hi, Can anyone help me with the correct part number for the rear W140 ADS strut. Also can anyone explain to me whether the strut used on vehicles with only ADS is the same or different from the one used on vehicles which have both SLS and ADS. My car is a W140 s320 with ADS. regards

Hi, I've just serviced my 500SL and when I checked the oil resevoir level of my Adaptive Damping system (the resevoir underneath the spare wheel) I saw that it is a good way below minimum. Can anyone tell me what oil is used to top it up? many thanks, Tal

We have not used the SL for 5 years it has been mainly stored in a dry garage until 12 months ago when it was moved to our new house where we don't have a garage. I always start it every few months and get it nice and warm and move it about a bit. I have decided to start using it again for...

my car is a w210 e55 1998 saloon with ads , can anyone explain why suddenly rear suspension should no longer be sitting level , nsr is now raised about 15/20 higher which is forcing osf down . i suspect either the ads or the hydrallic rear shock are at fault but how do i work out which part is...

The front discs on my W203 320 are very worn and although the pads are in good order I will replace both. The rear pads are worn as well although the disc is OK with hardly any scoring or wear. Looking on Eurocarparts today there is a 30% discount on brake parts (not including wear sensors...

Searching underneath my '92 500 to try and find the source of a problem with my ADS I noticed a plastic lever arm switch under the rear axle, there is a couple of inches movement and I can feel a click when I move it up and down - does anyone know what this does?, is it part of the ADS?

With some time to spare over the hols I was browsing various mercedes forums and came across a posting about the need to replace the oil in the ADS system following failure of the spheres. The claim was that the nitrogen from the faulty sphere would be disolved in the oil and allow the fluid to...

Hi, I'm hoping someone on here can help me even if only a little. My recently purchased S600 had a creaking noise from the back of the car which was pretty loud and irritating. I've looked on the v12uberalles website and seen the articles on the nitrogen spheres and the struts being...
