problem #1

Oct 072007

E500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
Drove car fine all day on Saturday. Sunday am, put son and wife in car, started out drive way and car gave notice that car was too low. Walked around exterior of car and found that right front suspension mechanism had let air out itself and tire was well inside the wheel well. Apparently, this is a well known issue. Dtb (daimler technical bulletin) P-B-32.22/15A feb07 vehicle level decreases at front axle. In extreme cases the airmatic compressor will not activate to raise the vehicle. It is not defective. The compressor is not actuated due to insufficient residual pressure in the suspension struts. Any affected struts will be replaced and the compressor will be actuated with star diagnosis.
