Airmatic repair kit part no?
My right front strut has a leak, I know because when the car raises and lowers, you can hear the leak coming from the strut behid the tire and not from the top where the hose feeds the strut. After the car is turned off, the corner drops and the sounds stop. When I raise the car it works while the car is on, but the pump is almost always working to try to keep up with the leak.
I read there is a repair kit so that the whole strut does not have to be replaced, does anyone have that number? I am out of warranty and my local shop can probably do the job and then I will just take it to the dealer to be leveled with Star.
Thanks

the repair it is for the S class only. If your 211 falls in a certain vin range, the struts will be replaced free of charge. Check the digits of your vin.
Model 211.065/070/076, up to VIN A255298

Hey guys, thanks for the help, but I jumped the gun and ordered a new strut, I got a hell of a price, so I did not hesitate. I had it isntalled at my shop yesterday and it is all good now. The old strut was leaking oil badly, and unfortunately, it was thrown away, so now I cannot even take it back to see if I get a refund. Oh well, live and learn.
Thanks for the input though.
Cheers
