I was driving yesterday when I got a red error message saying airmatic low, please stop driving. I called mb of huntingon and they told me to hit the rise button. I did that and it stayed on for about 10 minutes. The led light on the button went off and I havent had a problem since.

Is this a real concern?

I got the same error message yesterday. I called too and they told me to hit the button. It stated that it was rising but never rose. Today the car is essentially sitting on its tires.

Thought: it NEVER gets cold in Austin, TX but today it is about 30 degrees. Could temperature be the culprit? Any way to have the car raised and locked in the raised position? Airmatic doesn't seem like the cheapest thing in the world to fix.

Mine sitts on the wheels when it's parked. Then I can raise it but it gives a shakie sound in front when I do? What can that be? Leackege?

Take it to the dealer, let them look at it.

Your airmatic pump is either dead or dying. Needs to be replaced. Hopefully you are still under warranty. I have had the airmatic pump replaced TWICE on my car.

^ what did the cost come to for each time?

For me it was 260 part and 670 labor plus 11 days my car was in stealership

JAM

Both times were under warranty, but I believe the charge-back to benz was $1200 one time, and $1100 the other time.

Replaced my Airmatic system on my S430 18 months ago while still under warranty. Would have been just under $1200.

Did you guys purchase aftermarket warranties(if so from where?)Or are they from the stealership?
