What problems can the air suspension of my Mercedes run into?
Years

Answer

The most common problems affecting your Mercedes Airmatic Suspension system are mainly 6. Airmatic Relay Problems: The relay is a switch that controls the electronic circuits by opening and closing the circuits inside the compressor. Mercedes Compressor: The compressor is responsible for pumping the air suspension pockets with air and can sometimes stall; lose pressure, or it may stop working. Block Valves: Air can enter the compressor and cause internal damage. When valve blocking occurs, drivers can misidentify the problem as suspension damage. One of the side effects of the Airmatic valve block is that the vehicle does not maintain its height. Manufacturing Defects: Sometimes they have manufacturing defects or get damaged due to incorrect use during any stage of the shock's life cycle. Customers report a creaking or rattling noise. Airmatic malfunction: Sometimes the culprit is the actual Airmatic air damper itself. It can also fail due to wear and the inability to hold the air pumped by the compressor. Air Leak: It is necessary to check if the seals are intact or if there is an air leak by spraying soapy water on the seal / air lines / joints to see if there are any air leaks.
