What he said . You're either abc or airmatic , not both. I think you're abc in the 2007 s550

But you are posting in the wrong forums , this subforum is for the w220 chassis up to 2006

2007 cars are the w221 chassis and they have a separate subforum here

2003 s430
Air Suspension S430

Guys: I have 03 S430 Great Car!!! 2 weeks ago it started dropping down on all four after 3 hours of sitting. It will lift automatically when I crank it up. I haven't been driving the car because I do not want to burn up the compressor. I'm pretty intelligent when it comes to fixing most thing, so I feel this is something I can repair myself, From what I have researched on MB world and other site its either the compressor or suspension valve. My question is is there anything special I need, and when Jack the car up do I need to jack up all four wheels so it is level and with the car in the air will I steal be able to find/locate the leak since there will not be any weight on the suspension system? Your help is appreciated.

w22 s class
Can anyone advise me on a 2000 s class with leaky air suspension. Guy wants $2500.00 but the radio doesn't work, ac not cold and all for shocks are bottomed out. Says he can hear the pump run. Is this a good price in your opinion and can anyone direct me to a diagram that shows all of the component locations pertaining to the air shocks?

Not a good deal

You'll spend over $2000 to repair airmatic then you'll be at $4500 for a car with other problems

and potentially several hundred /few thousand to get radio and AC working . Also the car probably has water damage that's why radio and AC went out
