Cost of replacing rear airbag.

[MerrieMike]

The passenger side suspension has recently been going down when left garaged for about 4 days to a week. The local Mercedes main dealer has diagnosed a leakage in the airbag (cost of diagnosis £210) and has recommended a new airbag (cost to be just under £900). Is this reasonable? Frankly, I don't trust the local so-called Mercedes specialists, having used them in the past.

That is probably a fair price if for supply and install - plus perceived wisdom is to replace both as if one is going, the other will not be far behind

Thanks for that. I agree about replacing both.
