Hi
i was driving my car today and the car was wobbling. When i parked up i noticed that the driver side arch was almost touching the wheel,
I rang mobilo roadside recovery and they recovered my car and it is due in for the dealers to check under warranty.

Does anyone know why this could have happened? It was fine before, car is standard and does not have airmatic!

Will this all be covered under exteneded warranty?

Thanks

Like this? Mine's got a frozen air valve due the winter.

yes it looks like that, do you have airmatic i just have standard sport suspension, how do you go about fixing it because i am taking it to the dealer tommorow so if its fixable at home let me know although i think its covered under warranty.

Mine works when it's over -5 degrees fahrenheit so I'll just mention it when going to the next regular service. I got airsprings only on the rears, I don't have the airmatic buttons in the center console.

well its been like that overnight and no change. Also i have all four springs so i dont think it may be that problem. I will have it diagnosed at the dealers at see what they say

Do you have a sedan model? Was it the front or the rear of the driver side that was low?

you have airmatic. you said you have the sport suspension in your pics on Benzworld i notice you have the sport wheels. so that means you have the sport package. You shock is blown so maybe take up the $400shock offer from kiamcoj on benzworld just my imput

And how did you conclude the car has Airmatic? Why would a blown shock make the car bottom like that?

Im from the uk, the car is avantgarde, Which i think is the sports in the US, it doesnt have airmatic just the sports springs. its gone into warranty today so i will not need to buy new springs, I will update when i recieve the car back.

Mine works again normally.

its all sorted now. The spring was broken and they replaced both for free under warranty.

I assume you mean Air Spring. If this is the case note the mileage and expect another failure about the same miles.

Mine has also failed been replaced. I spoke to the service mgr and he said this is a common problem.

No, no, this was specifically arranged for vettdvr, a steel spring got broken. You should consider the new 212 with something else than steel or Airmatic springs.
