GLC 63 AMG
Air suspension raise problem

Hello all:

When I raise my 2021 GLC63. It takes forever to raise (3-5) minutes and have all kinds of clunky noise came from it. Likewise when lowering it. It just takes forever.
I just want to ask if it’s normal or not. The suspension is slower than any other cars I had that had an air suspension.

Thanks

It is painfully slow and clunks seem to be the normal. It takes forever to lower it all the way and using an aftermarket module is just as sloe so I just leave mine slammed.

I can raise mine while driving, and although I’ve never timed it, I would say it can complete in less than a minute. It’s a bit slower while parked and idling. If it’s parked it squeaks a little but I think that’s from the suspension angles changing against the force being applied by the parking brake if that makes sense.

Even idling it won’t take 3-5 minutes to raise on my 2019 GLC 43.
