03 E55 Airmatic Malfunction Front end Drops Air leak?
I'm recently having a problem with my Airmatic with the front end of my car dropping after a few hours sitting parked raised. Usually before I pull into my garage I raise my car and leave it that way park in the garage till the next day I drive it again. Before I noticed it would take two days for it to fully drop now it does it over night. I assume it has to do with a air block that controls the front end of the car, cause it drops evenly. I do have a Brabus lowering module, but I doubt it is causing the problem. I took it to Fletcher Jones Mercedes and they had it for over a week and could not figure it out. They ended up, pretty much giving up, and said I need to take the Brabus lowering Module out and put the car back to stock for them to further investigate the problem. They also had a SL that was also lowered there that had a similar problem but this car had both front and rear driver side drop only, where mine is just front left and right.Please help!! Anyone have the schematic of the Airmatic system on a 03 E55 W211?

mine usually needs to 'pump up' when i start it in the morning too. i would guess this isn't too unusual.
as long as it sits level when youre driving.

Well yes it'll pump back up to level when turned on, but I dont want to have any problem on my car, it's a manageable issue. Also, what if it's rasied and parked near a curb where the front is just right over it, and next morning or hours later you find your front bumper sitting on it.

I have an 03. It is stored in a unheated garage in Wisconsin winters. I have gone in and checked on it many times in the dead of winter (for vermin) and it is literally almost sitting on the floor. I start it up and it raises right up. Never does this in the summer though.
