Hi there.
I just bought a 2006 W639 Viano with a lot of problems but also a lot of good points.
1st problem to deal with is it is lopsided on the nearside wheels. Approx 2" between the wheel top & wheel arch lip on the n/s front, 3 3/4" on the o/s. 1 1/2" n/s at rear & 4" on o/s.
It doesn't sound much & my brother didn't notice but it looks very odd. It has adjustable airmatic suspension(I think)& it didn't sink or move over night. I am hoping it might be the ride height adjuster that is seized & needs cleaning or replacing. There are no warning lights on the dash(no ENR light).
Any ideas? I presume the fault is not confined to the Viano? How do I clean the ride height adjuster as a 1st possible fix? Many thanks as always Regards Rob
