Hello everyone, I've read a lot of post regarding airmatic malfunctionand have a lot of knowledge. I’m really needing advice or possible experienceas I’m currently having airmatic problems with my car.

Here are the currents of events:

4/28/14 - I noticed my car making vibration noises from the drivers side fender. I looked through the screen of my grille the airmatic pump moving and going crazy. I unplugged then replugged the battery and it stopped. Once I drove the car again, stopped and turn the car off the problem repeats.

4/30/14 – I took the car to the dearlership and was told the airmatic compressor was blown so I had it and the relay replaced.

5/2/14 – No issues but got a check engine light and a airmatic malfuntion warning.

5/3/14 – Airmatic compressor repeats the initial issue by not turning off once the car is off. I had to pull the battery again to get it to stop. Usually 10 minutes of no battery juice gets it to stop but the moment I drive and park the turn off the engine the compressor continues to run.

5/5/14 – T take the car back to the dealership, I get a call later that day and told the new pump that was put on had blown also. The dealership kept the car overnight, took out my Carlsson Lowering Module and replaced the airmatic compressor and relay again.

5/6/14 – I pick the car up drive home, shut the engine off and guess what; the airmatic compressor is still running.

I ended up taking the car right back to the dealership. I’m clueless as to what’s going on with my car, when the dealership runs the diagnostic everything checks out fine. They even removed my lowering module because they thought it may have been an issue. I have no leaks in my system according to the dealership and the airmatic system checks out as running to MB standards. Anyone have a clue as to what could be the problem?? I'm stressed beyond measure and the cost are starting to stack up.

I forgot to mention that I have absolutely no error or visit shop messages on my dash. The car's airmatic functions are still operating as they suppose to, it's just the compressor wont turn off. Any advice, thoughts or help would be so greatly appreciated.

Your airmatic relay is sticking. A known problem.

Either the relay is sticking ( not likely if the dealer changed it) or you have a leak in the lines, fittings, or the shocks themselves. Dealer should not have replaced second compressor without finding cause first. Talk about the dealer throwing your money at a problem. Good luck.

Does anyone know where I can buy just a seal kit for the Wabco
Compressor?
I've found several but all seem to have a 1 1/2" seal and W219 is larger. I didn't measure it while apart but it's at least 1 3/4".

Dealer replaced the wrong relay?

swap relay out and see if problem persists
