S320 AIRMATIC noise
Folks I have just had a new airmatic pump replaced+2 hoses 2 weeks ago. I then had a new airmatic relay replaced 2 days ago. Now the pump is making a drilling noise when I select airmatic and the vehicle rises.
I dont think the noise is "normal", but I am fed up going back to Mercedes garage (still under 12 month warranty 2001 model)
What do you think!!!!

Mine really isn't making that drilling sound, it's basically just making a lot of adjustment noises, much more than normal but no error codes have poppped up yet on the display.
It's going into the dealership tomorrow will see what mayhem takes place

I just got her back, they say they couldn't replicate my described symptoms.
So I guess it'll just have to wait till it's doing it again then I'll drive it right to them and show them what I'm talking about hopefully nothing like complete air-matic failure happens ...
