Air Suspension Problem
I'm trying to narrow down the issue, but the right rear air suspension will sag... but only sometimes.
I can park it sometimes for hours and its fine, but occasionally, it sags down (just the right rear one).
I took it in for repair and they replaced the compressor (because it was supposedly leaking)... but it did not fix the problem.
They tested all four air bags and none had leaks, so they assumed it was just the compressor.
Intermittent problems are the worst as they are hard to diagnose and to fix.
Has anyone else had this problem? and found the solution?

Helps when you post the year and model of your MB. Also helps to do a search before posting as every one of the issues you could ever imagine having has already been shared.

dealership fixed it - very fine leak and both rear bags had to be replaced. Four months now and I have not seen the problem.
