Mercedes-Benz AirMatic Air Suspension Malfunction Common Problems - Up Arrow - Car Lowered Dropped

[@gazsonautocarespa5926]

Does the compressor goes off like let's say every hour or so there is no malfunction light what is the problem if there's one thanks

[@YOUCANIC]

If your system is in good condition, the compressor should run for a few seconds then turns off. If it is running a lot you have a leak (in most cases).

What is it when it's suddenly making a loud noise?

[@krissstulbergs6267]

Hi, I have an older gl class (2008) and have a problem where rear right side is lover than all 3 sides. Before it was leaking, till it blown up. Now I have replaced suspension air bags on both rear sides. After change, the car looks unlevel at back. I did change a hight sensor on right side, but after all the problem is still there, where do I need start to look ? Even the Mercedes workshop arent helping, they are only guesing that its some where in wires, and charge per hour they use, to find the problem.

Might need to replace your Air Suspension Valve Block

Valve block

[@MegaRissa]

malfunction pop ups on cluster, but if i turn off the engine and remove the key and start again the sign of malfunction disappeared. could you explain to me what triggering the malfunction popups at cluster

[@tepelena]

Read the codes from the airmatic control unit. That would explain it.

[@nottryinghard1023]

I have the malfunction light come on 5-10-15-30 minutes later, but the rear passenger suspension is way lifted/higher compared to the remaining 3 suspensions. What's the cause of this? Is it problem #2?

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

Did you fix the problem?? I have same problem.

[@nottryinghard1023]

@theotherhalfoftheang Yes, I fixed the problem. The self-leveling sensor in the rear passenger was broken, but nothing with the compressor for me. Had to get the self-leveling sensor replaced, and now it levels evenly.

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

@nottryinghard1023 what happens to mine is that shows the suspension light up and the rear lowers down, when i wait for a while I'm able to lift it up with the lift botton and stays like that if its not moving but after driving for 5 minutes it shows light again and goes lower, 2 mechanics have checked and they seem to not find any physical problem with it, it's so annoying, any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

[@nottryinghard1023]

@theotherhalfoftheang It could mean that there is a leakage in the airbag for the air suspension. Maybe you should try taking out the suspension and inspecting it. Unless the mechanics already did that.

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

@nottryinghard1023 thanks for your reply I really appreciate it 🙏, update my mechanic said its the airbags, yesterday i got them from the store and give it to him hopefully it will be ready today or tomorrow i honestly dont care when i onky care that my suv be ready up and running without any other problems by the end of this week or next one if necessary 🙏🤞

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

My gl450 2014 shows the malfunction light and the rear dropped, took it to 2 different mechanics (friends of mine) both find no physical problem, tomorrow i will go to another one before i go to the dealership for them to fix it if noone finds what it is.

[@stevianrey]

Check on your Air Suspension Valve Block

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

@stevianrey7751 thank you, i already fixed the problem it was a broken air bag

[@stevianrey]

@@theotherhalfoftheang Glad it's fixed!! Good to hear!

​@theotherhalfoftheang when you had issue could you hear the air trying to fill kinda behind the tire where the problem is

[@ronmonks6325]

I had a little extra weight in the trunk of my e500 and after about 24 hours the rear half dropped and won't go back to level. Is it possible the computer needs to be reset

[@mariog5598]

I got a 2015 c250 here australia, car has 99k kms (61k miles) When I dont drive the car for a week the rear suspension drops, when I turn the engine it rises, is this Normal?

[@YOUCANIC]

The phenomenon of your car's rear suspension dropping after a week of inactivity isn't entirely abnormal, but it isn't something to ignore either. It could indicate a small leak or wear in your air suspension system. We recommend using the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner [www.youcanic.com/scanner] to diagnose potential issues. Beyond that, if you have any more questions about your car's condition or need further guidance, don't hesitate to ask on our platform: www.youcanic.com.

hi, I have a problem with my E-class w212. The suspension is stuck all the way up. In diagnosis it gives me error C156E00 level calibration not performed and error A19116 circuit power supply 30g out of range limit. The level calibration doesn't work for me,what could it be? thanks

[@warlock403]

Did you figure this out? I have a w212 E63 with the same issue.

I am based in Nigeria. I replaced my R350 4Matic Rear Balloon and whilst standing, it bursted. What can I do please ?

[@brianhayes4063]

My warning light didn’t start appearing until after I had to have the right front strut replaced on my 2012 GL550. Coincidence or connection? Should I address this with the mechanic that replaced that strut? Or treat as a completely different issue?

[@YOUCANIC]

Thanks for your question. It might be a coincidence or there might be a connection between the two issues. We recommend speaking to the mechanic who replaced the strut, as they can give insight into your vehicle's condition.

I’ve got a W222 2014 model with 70,000 miles with immaculate service history car has wanted for nothing and always OEM parts fitted. Had problems with air matic suspension and believe me it’s eye watering expensive to repair it’s not a question if it will leak it’s when . I am thinking of removing and going over to springs

[@TheMrChozen]

Why don’t you buy the OE part and DIY. It’s not that difficult. I could also recommend a junk yard if you wanna find the original mercedes part with lower miles if money is that eyewatering that you can’t even keep that immaculate service history clean as it is(was)

This was a waste of time, If had a scanner I'm pretty sure I can use it just as well as you. Also if the level sensor doesn't read correct it will keep on trying, or stop due to the fact that it doesn't know what the various levels are. You will hear a leak if it has one.

Well there is no magic solution. If you just want to throw parts at it then you can.
