airmatic nightmares
I'm caught up i n a hellish nightmare of which I cant seem to wake out of...
to make a long story short... my s320 2000 FL wheel hit a pothole @ 20kph
the next day I found that the airmatic pump was running even after I'd turned off the car - took it back to my indy -
The FL was found to have a leak and in the process - burned out a SAM - all this happened in a space of 24 hrs - I'd to replace the FL airmatic and the SAM(under the right seat)
Now I find that the rear of the car sinks completely in less than 24 hrs!!!
and the rear airmatics are brand new which I bought myself!
I cannot comprehend this new setback! My indie tell me this is normal with some cars but I knwo this to be utter nonsense.
Can someone please help me out of this dilemma so I can instruct my technically inept mechanic and point him in the right direction
Desperate,Please help!

I think you better look for a new Indie. Misdiagnosis is very expensive with Mercedes and while everyone can make a mistake from time to time it sounds like your present Indie may be in over his head.
