performance problems S600 w220
Hello I am new on this site and have been reading a lot about similar problems to the once I have here but no real solutions.
Since a few weeks the check engine light is on and I have the feeling that I am missing some cylinders . About a week ago the light went of and everything was working fine so I thought worries are over. Surprise surprise, the light came back on and I have powerloss again and am missing some cylinders again. Sofar replaced are sparkplugs with original Mercedes, air filters and the front Oxygen sensor of the right cylinder bank.
I am noticing that when i drive out of the garage in the office and I go down the engine runs perfectly . Funny thing is that i left the car parked for a few days where the nose of the car was lower then the back and that after that the engine light was off and the car performed as it should , detail is that the srs light came on strangly enough.
Does anyone have similar problems ? I know that a lot of people claim that the ignition module might be broken but I am starting to think that it might be more wires moving around causing the defect or maybe fluid at or in a connector where it should not be and when the car is declined in position this fluid might be going away but is creaping back when the car is level again.
I also have a problem a front shock absorber where the to rubber where it is connected to the body needs replacement but I am not sure if this unit is loose normally or not .

you have a s600 so you dont have shocks, you have a hydraulic suspension system called ABC which is notorious for expensive failures and uses hydraulic struts at all 4 corners....
