2003 e500 air ride
I need help, I have a e500 2003, the left drive side is front pump up and when I drive off it go back to low, and it give the warn sign 'stop car to low to drive" is this the pump problem? it seem like the sensor have problem or something. sometime I turn on the car, I can hear the pump start to pump but it shut of real fast and it wouldn't pump anymore, so I pull out the fuse then put back the pump will start pump up but once I start driving the front left go back down again. what going on does anyone experience the same problem I have..thanks you

First your car has W211 body and regardless what some forum idiots think - you don't need VIN to figure it out.
Airmatic is pretty complex system and you need means to read the system pressure. Hooking up SD level computer is the easiest thing to figure out if your compressor is weak, or you have a leak.
On the other hand compressor rebuild kits are about $15, so if you have hard time to find a scanner, you can take good chances with rebuilding.
