Have started a separate thread here see if I can get some more feedback on the Airmatic issues I am having.
The trader I purchased the vehicle from had a new Airmatic Pump fitted last week, I picked the car up on Saturday afternoon, the engine was warm when I collected the car, when I set off I heard and felt what sounded like something vibrating inside the car through the floor and the steering wheel, I stopped the car and listened but it disappeared, I carried on home I didn't hear any more noises so parked the car in my Garage over the weekend while I was at work, yesterday I took the car out for a run, the first thing I noticed was the vibrating noise again coming through the floor and steering, my back street is quite pot holey so the noise and vibration was quite pronounced, I got out onto the main road and accelerated away, again the Noise and vibration was just there, in fact each time I accelerated I got the same effect eventually it seemed to settle down and stopped vibrating but it took a good 10 minutes, I then took the car for a run through an area that has a lot of speed bumps the suspension seemed to be working could not hear the Pump at all, then I called into the garage for some fuel, on getting back into the car and starting her up I heard and felt the pump again briefly, took her home and parked her up, called my local Mercedes dealer today, who said that you should not be able to hear or feel the Pump in operation, said they would inspect it for £108 discounted from £150 due to its age??? thanks Mercedes!
Spoke to the trader this afternoon he his coming to collect the vehicle to take it back to the independent that fitted the pump, what do you guys think is going on here with this pump?
