Which airmatic valve block?
Looking to change my airmatic valve block on my W211 E55. Have the "Stop, car too low" warning light.
Had previously changed the rear airbags to Arnott, and replaced the front air suspension (Aerosus). Also replaced rear shock absorbers (Bilstein), as they looked in really bad shape.Car has done over 170k miles, so the thing is a bit tired, and I'm looking for reliability (I know, don't laugh!).
Have picked up a remanufactured Wabco air suspension compressor from the main dealer. But also: -
1) I was considering buying a cheap airmatic valve block off eBay (cheap, Chinese). I presume these are next to useless?
2) If so, should I use an Arnott valve block, or stick to a new OE MB Valve block from the main dealer, as they are pretty much the same price?
