Airmatic Paranoia
Ive had the airmatic warning come on, visit workshop. It went away in 10 minutes, i've heard horror stories with the 2000 s430 airmatic, my airmatic works fine, it says it goes up and down when u press the button. Will my airmatic break down and i get stuck with 6000$ in repairs with an out of warranty car?? Also what is the Dampening Shock button do, It has one red dot, i think it may be like sport suspension, but i cant tell the difference!!

Just get a full check out of system. MB knows all the bugs with airmatic. The real horor stories come with the ABC suspension system which is standard on S55 and S600

What has happened in the past with ABC is that the entire car drops down totally on the wheels. If your driving while it does this it causes all sorts of damage.........
