01 s430 airmatic fixed!!
Hey guys, i posted on here not to long ago about my airmatic acting up and stop car to low light, I super happy to say I did the repairs myself thanks airnott and you guys and my ride is drivable again, I'm just having one small issue with it now, the "airmatic visit workshop" light won't go away and MBSD wants 135 usd to diagnose it.... Is there anything I can do to get it to clear myself? Btw, if you live in sd I can help you out with swapping out the pump or the struts just let me know

I plan on replacing both the struts on my car also after the Holidays. Anything special I need to know on removing/installing the struts? It seems to be pretty simple but you never know.
Also, did you purchase the rebuilt one's from Arnott Industries or new ones and how do you like them?
Thanks!

Yea I got the airnott ones and they are amazing!!! Plus the lifetime warranty is a plus, all you need to do is remove the air lines from the tops of the struts and the three bolts on the top of the strut then on the bottom of each strut there are two hex screws on either side then just remove the wiring and pull em' out

Dreamer_d13...Thanks! Sounds pretty straight forward. I'm going to order the Arnott struts and when I get back from a business trip I'll replace them 
Currently my struts are leaking at the top. It's driveable but I just don't feel safe because I can hear the compressor working more often now
Don't want to get stranded out in the cold when they decide to bottom all the way and not rise up again

Lol yea that's what happened to me the car dropped the entire front end on the freeway and wouldn't go back up, so I used that repair kit they sell bet that lasted about an hour before I had problems again! X( if you get stuck at any point just let me know but it is pretty easy especially if you have a buddy to help
