Hello everybody!
I need some help with my airmatic system on my Mercedes CLS500 C219.
I bought the last summer. The airmatic worked but the car sagged over night. Right rear wheel was in bottom after standing for just one night. Left wheel also got alot lover. But not nearly as right wheel.
Front wheels dit not sag much. Anyway as soon as i looked up the car it raised very quickly to normal ride hight.
Drow it like that till december last year. In the begging of december faults started to show. It was minus 8 c (celcius) one day and i started the car compressor ran but couldent raise the car even the slidest.
And the car had even lovered itself much more the usual. The compressor ran for minutes, it diden't raise. So i thought that the airmatic had frozen.
Couple of days later it was a few plus degrees outside.
Then after maybe 20 minutes of car warming up i could raise the car with the compressor.
I drove it for a few days it worked okey. Then it started again to malfunction. This time it was very hard to get it to raise.
It took about 10-20 minutes for the car to raise. And i guess it had to do with the system freezing again.
After that it got even worse. The compressor started to run just 20 seconds then shut off and car to low was gloving red in screen.
It only started again if i shut off the car and turned it on again. And for only 20 seconds.

After that i diden't drive the car more last winter.
And i started using it again 2 weeks ago. I thought it would work better again but it did not. Compressor started for 20 seconds and then shut off. Same message again. Stop car to low.
Turned it off and on again and again to let the compressor run those 20 seconds 5 or 6 times. So it had ran about 2 to 2.5 minutes and the front tires and left rear tire raised a little bit. Right rear tire in the bottom dosent raise one bit.

So i thought right rear air spring was bad. So i ordered a new one. Changed the old one. Only to discover that the old one was not leaking.
So the car diden't raise after the new one was installed. More then just the 3 that rasied slitly earlier.

Last week i examened the compressor and valve block. And i saw that the airfilter hoose got 2 holes in it between the compressor and filter. So i guess i has been some water in the system.

I changed the hoose and hoped that the airmatic worked better. But the compressor only ran for 20 seconds after that also. And even after turning off and on the car multiple times to get the compressor to run for a few minutes it did not raise the car at all.

A couple of days after that the compressor ran for a few moments but then died alltogether.
Now it wont even start. It just says Stop car to low, at ones. Car is raising dosent show anymore.
And the car is sitting on the ground.

I have checked the air tanks and hooses to the tanks. They look good.

The valve block was full of dirt around the air hooses and looked like it was pretty old.

So i start to think that the valve block is bad and the compressor has warned out.

Sorry for a very long post.
I hope you guys have some good knowlege about airmatic and can help me 😃
