S600 Suspension Help and Tips Needed!
I have an 02 s600 and it has suspension problems. In the morning the suspension has lowered a little bit, mostly on the driver side and i am able to lift it to its max ride height. After driving it through the day it slowly lowers but if i hit some bumps or have some people sitting in the back it will fall to about 1-2 inches off the ground. In the mornings the white ABC light is on and after driving it about 2-5km it turns red. I will check on friday to see if the struts are cracked. Has anybody had a similar problem? If i need to buy new struts does anybody reccommend arnott? Also i dont know if i have ABC or Airmatic so if anybody could help me out on that I would greatly appriciate it. Another issue is that some of the doors do not sof shut anymore so i was wondering if anybody could help me with getting them to soft shut again. Than-you for your help in advance!

The 2002 S600 has hydraulic ABC. (download and read the owner's manual).
You should check for proper fluid level first, and then read the forums for potential maintenance filter and valve block problems.
With a 12 year old S600, you must read - read - read the forums.

Check for any leaks from abc system, the pumps are common, check the level via the stick on the cap. If no leaks and level ok u will need to get it put on a machine to check fault code, the pump may not be producing any pressure.
