Great Video Sir! This is probably the most in-depth video I've seen on the mercedes airmatic system. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge on this system 👍

[@yoman5031]

First video I have watched where you actually learn something while watching it, great detailed video keep up the good work!

[@jagboy69]

This is one of the best diagnostics video on yt! Well done explaining this royal pain in the ass system. Mine is still screwed, but I'm still trying.

[@gustavososa4364]

Great Video! My S430, w220 drop down the two front wheels, but not the whole care. The front struts are new and the compressor works fine. Seeing your video I think the valves may have old o-rings where the air is leaded. I will check it. Thank you.

Hi do it_vehicles, I follow your channel regularly. I admire your efforts in getting to the bottom of these W220 problems. I drive a 2002 S 500, always something "kaputt"😁 after 19yeats, or so... OBDII: Is there an inexpensive comprehensive bi-directional scanner on the market you'd recommend? Put it in the description box below and collect 10-20% in commissions. We, your followers would greatly appreciate your experience and recommendations in tools and recommendations you use. And, if you make a little Money out of this, even better.

Hi Marcus and thanks for your message! About the scan tools: For me it's either an expensive " top one " or a 100 $ one . Obviously, it depends a lot on how much you will use it and how far you want to go into this field. From what I know Autel is one of the best ( updates are expensive ) Foxwell is great as well ( you can check the review I made ) Also it's important to know that besides a good scan tool you will need a proper oscilloscope , a good voltmeter and access to wiring diagrams which can be quite costly - if one wants to be pretty close to a Pro level . About the affiliate marketing on this channel, from what I've seen is not worth it ; long story short 😅

[@m.j.9091]

I have never seen anybody getting access to the compressor through the headlights. Interesting 🤔 Most people remove the wheel and it's cover. So how do you fix the leak between the line and the nut? Kind regards

[@enghussam6562]

DETALIED WELL THANKS

[@corneliusgray2042]

Does that scan tool balance out the car as well if one side is slightly lower and what kind of scan tool is that thanks?

[@2legit437]

What brand of scan tool did you utilize? Thank you

[@mohammedojapah6331]

This interesting and thanks a lot for sharing this, and I am having similar issue with my W220 s500

[@doit_vehicles]

I am glad it helped

[@mrjacko13ify]

Hello my freind great video i was wondering i have a s500 w220 can you tell me the name of the carrier plate that the air pump sits on or even better the part number of the plate. Thank you for your time 👍🏻

[@fulgery]

Hello. Can i have a way how to contact you? I have a problem with my mercedes w220 facelift . In the foxwell tester not have errors. But time to time my right front suspension is going down instantly. But i have days when not happening. Thank you

[@ganhadogamerbg9711]

Here you buy that scan tool

[@lorenreyes2855]

I'm working on my 2008 Mercedes E550/ W211. I replaced the left front strut. Thinking it was blown out? Unfortunately I replaced it. Same thing. Strut going down. I removed the wheel again. Checked all the sensors. I cleaned the terminals. Put it back together. It stayed up and was fine. Until I checked the steering. Right the pump turned on. I looked at the left strut? Still good. I turned the wheel left. The left strut deflated again? I checked everything around the wheel. Everything seems to be fine? I re tried it to figure out why turning the wheel has anything to do with the Airmatic system? I checked all the voltages. It seems fine. I have no idea. So off to the mercedes mechanic? I'll follow up after hopefully they can fix it.

[@marlonjefferson1012]

Any update?

[@SuperEric1123]

Hi, I have 2005 S430 and I'm getting Display Defective the Airmatic don't go up and the button for raising the car and button for sports mode does not light up, the ABS light up. I checked all the wiring and fuses and didn't find any problem. What do you think is the problem. I need your help. Thank you

[@jagboy69]

I fixed my display defective by mailing to some guy in colorado who did some work on it. He runs a service on ebay. It was about 150bucks and he was very fast. That stupid display defective will cause ALL kind of weird problems and then some. Start with that.

[@slapointe50]

where is the outer compressor filter hose connected on a 2000 MB S500

[@doit_vehicles]

It should be in the same location. Wasn't i the video ?

[@Benz242]

2003 Mercedes Benz S430 4Matic my problem is that the AIRMATIC compressor stays on WILL NOT TURN OFF.... NEED TO KNOW THE PROBLEM. IF ANYONE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. AND REPAIRED. IT. HOW

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

That's likely a shorted relay. I've had two shorts with these shitty OEM relays. One caused my secondary air pump to burn out. If you don't catch it in time, a shorted relay will ruin the component it's supposed to turn on.

[@hdhardy1359]

What is the name of that software you are using to diagnose and turning on the compressor???

[@doit_vehicles]

Foxwell

[@nikolaristoski1489]

Can I use iCarsoft i980 as a scan tool and do everything you did with your Foxwell scan tool?

[@doit_vehicles]

I never used that i980 , but I don't belive so

[@lionpauu7360]

What scantool are you using?

[@nattyp7801]

E500 major trouble with the airmatic….

[@Mikehuzai]

What scanner are you using?

[@doit_vehicles]

foxwell i70 pro . I made a unboxing video

[@CaviteBoy23]

Very complicated for me😐
