Hi, I recently purchased e500 2003. When I purchased it, it couldn't start and it was super low. I figured that it was sabotaged by somebody for some reason which doesn't matter. However, after finding out that several fuses were missing, I was able to start the car. It sounds great. But, it was still super low. I jacked it up and realized that rear coil air spring on the driver's side was missing. A WHOLE spring. But, also, airmatic line was cut right in the middle between back two wheels so it is surely leaking there. The compressor pump is good. Now, I know I will have to buy a air spring which is about $220 on eBay, and there is many videos on how to install that, but I have no clue how does airmatic line route from the compressor to the wheels and how am I supposed to connect it together again. I don't even know for sure where to buy metric brass fittings that connect the line with the springs. I attached the pic of where you can see the line being disconnected. I am not sure if these two were connected together, or something else. HELP!!
If thats the center of the car that is where a valve block goes to connect left amd right rear to the front. One line is for the spring you have the other runs to the pump up front then another comes from the new spring

Could you please post some pics of that valve and how it connects? That would be super helpful. Also do you have any idea where would I be able to buy it?
Something like that or mine is just a small block with 3 holes for lines. Left on left right on right front on front might have to snag one off another car like in your case i havmt found one
I realized what I have to do and how this airmatic line is supposed to wire up. I am just not 100% where does it go from front to get to the back. There are two lines that go straight from the valve block to front two springs, and then there are two more lines that go to the back. One of the lines that go to the back goes to a T valve and from that valve goes on rear left and right springs and the other one goes to the air tank that is located right next to rear left air spring. So I can see the two lines that are supposed to go back just after they leave the valve block next to the compressor. As soon as they get lost behind the first part, I can't figure out where to they come out. since they aren't connected in the back, I can't figure out where they are cut in the front. So, I guess what would be very helpful is if somebody had a full schematics or a diagram of all airmatic lines in W211. I am sorry if I confused you guys, english is my third language!
