W124 Wagon Ride Height ISSUES

Hey guys

I have replaced the spheres and put in a used self level valve. However, the ride height is still not adjustable. Nor does the car raise back up to normal with added weight. Any troubleshooting ideas here?

Thanks

I have a slightly different problem, the suspension would rise but then it wouldn't go back down. I got a dealer to have a look they replaced the accumulators ( sprees? ) and that fixed the issue.
If you have refilled the system properly l cant see why it shouldn't work. Unless the used valve is not working.

If you've got a turbo diesel and the power steering is working then it isn't a problem with the pump.

Maybe you need to check incase any of the pipes are blocked.

does it work if you pull on the lever with your hands? you have to wait quite a bit when in idle.
