E55 Lowering Help!
The amg was parked up for about a month, the back tyre had a slow puncture so the was going low from the back i thought that was to do with the air being low. Got the tyre sorted over the weekend took it out, parked it up and over a day it goes low again, the car has not been lowered, but when i leave it for a few hours it starts to go lower. Can someone tell me why is that please
Thanks
Thanks

Typically it's the Airmatic strut that is at fault. I had my rear strut replaced under warranty. My drivers rear was collapsing after several days. Some problems could be that the air lines are chafed and created a small hole, bad air compressor or distribution block. And independant repair shop or Mercedes can diagnose your problem, by hooking up a computer to your OBD port, and read the codes. This isn't a cheap fix, if your ride isn't under warranty, you can replace your bad strut http://www.arnottindustries.com/part...rts_yid18.html
I sincerely hope that this helps you out. I know how expensive the airmatic system can be.

Well, whats gonna happen is since you obviously have a leak in one of the corners of your car, your pump is gonna burn out next trying to keep up with the leak and that is gonna cost an adittional $2500 in addition to the airbag which is probally around $1000.
