levelling

I'm rebuilding my W123'S SLS valve presently, or to be more precise replacing the 5 o rings that cause the car's rear end to sag after a few hours. Economies of scale meant I ordered loads of them, so 'special offer' to members, a set for £5 posted. PM if interested.

I have a 2000 CLK with factory fit Xenons and the levelling mechanism from the front suspension is snapped off at both ends. What I would like to know is the potentiometer(?) inside the arch plug and play, or if I replace that will it need to go on a scanner? I ask because the mounting bolts...

I've noticed recently that my 9k miles S212 occasionally 'let's itself down' when parked for a while. This can be overnight, or a couple of days and when I return to the vehicle it is noticeably down at the rear - I get the message "please wait - vehicle rising" when I turn it on. But not...

2003 W209 CLK. I have not used the car much over the winter although it is taken out once a fortnight for a 30 minute run. Unfortunately the battery went down. Still powered all the electrics but not start the car. It started fine off a battery pack and everything works as usual except the...

I have noticed lately the car is not lowering itself (rear) automatically all the times when a passenger gets out. It's fine when someone gets in and usually lowers at some random moment?

Hi Guys As a newbie, I'm hoping someone out there has a gem of advice with regard to my E320 Cdi Sport 2007 estate, self levelling rear suspension has failed. The rear of the car is sitting way down. I got a malfunction warning on the dash display. Both sides are the same. I've checked the...

Hi, one of my Xenon lights has stopped doing the self leveling! It is the front passenger side one and it just points down to the ground which is very annoying! The driver side one is working perfect and i can see it adjust when i turn on the lights. Any ideas what might be up with this? Is it...

Recently I have noticed that when the boot is loaded the suspension is running very low, as if I am on bump stops. The spheres were replaced last year, along with all the copper pipes as a separate job. Could this be the levelling valve gone, or anything else. ?

Hi Has anyone any experience of the rear self levelling struts that ECP and GSF sell???? The MB ones are £400 each and one of them has started leaking on the wifes 124 and needs replaced. It has actually pinholed with rust under the rubber gaitor and thats whats causing the leak. Also...

;)Good news Now know my S500 W140 does have self levelling suspension as suspected. :(Bad news Looking prob at a very expensive bill and where do I go in cheshire to someone who knows about such things Just had a price from MB for the shock absorbers and had to sit down Anyone had this same...

I seem to have an intermittant problem. Occasionally when I get in and start the car the lights stay in their lowest setting and don't adjust themselves. It then doesn't matter how many times I switch the lights on or off they won't reset. If I then switch everything off, get out and leave the...

i need some help. can anyone tell me if my facelift w202 c280 has self-levelling suspension? many thanks.

I am on a bit of a roll now so want to get my car right up to scratch! I am havinig an occasional problem with the hydraulic fluid level for the power steering/self levelling pump in that it occasionally overflows. is there some kind of valve which prevents this happening or is it as has been...

Hi, I am a new ML owner after years of Land Rovers. What a difference! Don't get me wrong, I take the ML for it's limitations, but on the whole it is just much better put together. No rattles, much smoother ride, so on the whole I'm impressed. Couple of little niggle though. One being the...

As the title says, I'm looking for a good pair of self levelling rear shocks. WHY?:)

Hi We noticed at a GTG that the hydraulic self levelling suspension oil in my W124 estate was pretty low and the dipstick also shows this. I'd like to top it up. i believe it has the genuine mercedes stuff in it (i think) - should i stick to the genuine fluid from MB or is an...

Does anybody know what sort of price these are?

It was that nail biting time of the year again, and it nearly passed.... but not quite. It failed because the SLS pipes were badly corroded and leaking fluid. I have been told that to replace the pipes and do the job properly, you have to drop the subframe and you are advised to replace the...

Hi all , what type of fluid/oil do you use to top up the self levelling suspension reservoir on a 1998 E300 turbo diesel estate.Noticed a leak from the levelling valve and the level indicator on the reservoir is reading minimum.This appears the symptom of repairs carried out a month ago by...

My W124 estate has corroded rear suspension pipes (from spheres to struts) and a broken valve control rod on the self levelling suspension. I took it to the garage to have work assessed and parts ordered. On the way back, the offside pipe leaked hydraulic fluid. The car soon dropped onto its...
