NOT YOUR ORDINARY AIRMATIC PROBLEM , NEED HELP HERE.
Hello to all , ive tried using the search on my current problem but i do not see anyone that has had the problem that i am currently having , so let me ask and see if anyone can help .
I just purchased a 2000 s500 with 20 inch wheels and its lowered . Dont know how they lowered it , could be module or links not sure. The case is that i have a slight incline on my driveway (highest point being close to my home and lowest being closest to the start of the driveway) so when i park facing my home , the car after 20-30 minutes will raise and stay like that all night . When i park the car in reverse with the rear closest to my home the car will be completely lowered in the morning . Ive parked in a few spots that are pretty much leveled while shopping where the car has sat for over an hour and it stays the same , doesnt lower or raise . Has anyone had this problem before? Its driving me nuts and ive taken the car to a few mercedes techs and they dont know either , the computer reads no codes .
Thanks

My car Is not just the front or rear , its all four struts they either inflate or deflate to an extreme depending on the incline position.
I guess i have another question . Is the airmatic pump supposed to work with the ignition off?

Is my question that noobish that people are just ignoring it or its something that no one has seen yet? I really need some feedback here. I just noticed when i hit the unlock button on my key if the car is raised at the time it will lower back to its normal level just buy hitting the unlock.
