W220, S320cdi Airmatic Stop Car Too Low
I bought the car privately a few months ago, and found out that it needed a new turbo, as there was was no power and kick-down.
After spending over a £1000, there was still no kick down. But recently, a message has been displayed, Airmatic - Visit Workshop.
Took the car back to the mechanic ( not dealer ). They reprogrammed the car and the display went. They said they have checked the pump, relay, and leaks. All was o.k.
After driving for a day, same message came up "Airmatic, Visit Workshop".
After driving for a week, a new message is displayed "Airmatic Stop, Car Too Low". The car is now too low with the front wheels inside the wheel arches.
The car was made in the year 2003, with 87,000 miles on the clock.
The build quality of this model is worst than a 50 year old wheel barrow. After spending over a thousand pounds on the turbo, I now have a possible major problem with the suspension. I think the airmatic crap was designed by MB chimpanzees. There are many people on this forum with airmatic problems.
This will be the last time I buy a MB car with a ****matic suspension. I will stick to the reliable spring suspension.
Any help in diagnosing this problem will be appreciated.

LOL. Dude, the airmatic shocks are noted with an approx life of 100K miles, and they are old seals by 9 years. Get some replacements from Arnott, get a core credit, save some money and keep on moving.
