Airmatic Issue

Hello

I've got a ml 320 2006 with the dreaded Airmatic warning light that comes on after 20 minutes of driving. The front drivers loses a cm in height overnight (12 hours), and there is a knocking on the same side when going over bumps.

Could this mean new struts/springs?

Diagnostics (Carly) has the "reservoir is taking too long to fill up error"



Thanks for looking!

Definitely agree... I'm getting it checked next week.

This is the output from carly.
