Do I have Airmatic & Active Body Control?

When I was at a dealership, they ordered a replacement strut (the wrong one) and had to return it. First they said I didnt have ABC, then they did... My Dash cluster has the Airmatic (which works and the vehicle rises etc) and also a button for a suspension leveling for cornering...

My dash cluster looks exactly like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W22...item3cc10caf88

You have Airmatic only. You cannot have both. ABC has a sport setting on the dash. Did you try pricing out Arnott's for the replacement strut. They are considerably less expensive. The only drawback is that a Mercedes dealer will only install OEM parts which these are not.

I was told the car did not have ABC based on a tech from one location, but when they ordered the Struts, he said he got the wrong one and had to re order because I did. His mistake. Is there anyone here who can decode a VIN and tell me or what to look for? One of the switches I have on the dash allows some sort of suspension leveling from left to right, and I have the switch to rise and lower the car.

Not sure if this helps but Arnott can decode your W220 w/ABC Suspension VIN but we can only tell you which of our parts will fit.

2000-2006 (W220 w/ ABC Suspension) MERCEDES-BENZ S-CLASS

Here is a form to request our part number: http://www.arnottindustries.com/contact/index.asp

Note: Since you are in Florida you could get our part the next day via UPS ground (if ordered by 2:30 p.m.). Also Discount Code "MBWorld312" will give you an extra 10% off your purchase (Up to $75) until July 1.
