I took the plunge on a S65 that was sitting in a showroom where I live here in Qatar, the car isn't perfect but I couldn't resist the temptation of buying a V12...
Front struts are slightly leaking, should I be worried about it ?
By experience, how long may they last until havig bigger issue ?
Congrats on getting one of the best saloon cars Mercedes has made!
When I bought my S65AMG, one of the front struts had a very very slight leak and it had been like that for two years. The moment I lowered the car, it failed almost instantly. I knew I had to order a new one at some point but lowering the car didn't help at all
I don't know how much the parts are in Qatar but here in the UK, the price for one front strut was £1700+ so be prepared for an expensive fix
From the pictures of your car detailing, it seems that I'm missing some boots on the shock... Not sure it's worth the hassle to replace them.
Parts are quite expensive here but custom duties and VAT low so I think I can get anything shipped here for a reasonable price.
I'll do a quick cleanup to see how the leaks evolve.
The fact that you mentioned tha they broke right after lowering get me a bit worried about doing the ABC fluid flush with the rodeo mode...
