My car on the rear drivers side kept dropping if it was parked up for a couple of days, but on starting the engine it would raise. However it then stopped raising at all (I know I should have had it looked at when the fault first occurred ) in the last 2 days my partner has swapped the air bag unit on the rear drivers side and the valve block but fault still remains. It has a 5508 code on the scanner which I can see from forums is common for a number of issues not just the airline fault it represents. We don’t want to keep buying parts for it.
the compressor starts when the engine is started but cuts out as soon as the visit workshop is displayed on the dash. Has anyone encountered this is it more likely to be a fault in the pipe to that bag or could the compressor be faulty.
any advise is much appreciated as we are at our wits end with it.
The car is parked up at home so we are limited to underneath access and worried about driving it to the garage with it so low at one corner

MBWorld Fanatic!
I don't hesitate to throw parts at my airmatic. They are all nearly 15 years old, and near the end of their service life. I found a nearly new arnott compressor on ebay and put it in with a new filter just for prevention. A spray bottle of soapy water is a good diagnostic tool in this case. There is a rebuild kit for the pump on ebay too. You also might find more options looking for E55 parts, but it's all the same, just more common.
