Is this a airmatic problem?
Got this error message on the way home today. "Visit workshop!" Appears to be an airmatic image there, no? I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow. Thoughts?

Haha! I bought it last September and it had 38k on it.
Apparently it was a dealer car for a few years (that's when it got the RENNtech modifications) and then someone bought it and garaged it. It's my daily driver, 45 miles/day work commute. I'm putting mile on this biotch!
The car is at the dealer. I didn't see any sagging suspension so I'm hoping it's just an airmatic sensor or something. They are also looking into a musty smell coming out of the a/c vents (only on cold starts, tho). And a quirk with the Command unit.
Hopefully it all qualifies for warranty work.

Buncha garage queens up in this piece! :lol:
I heard back from the dealer. There's a leak in one of the rear airbags. They are going to have to drop the rear axel to get to it. They are trying to get approval from NAC (I have the Pinnacle warranty) to replace both airbags since the other will likely leak soon. The problem is that each bag is $1,200, doh!
So it's a stretch but hopefully I'll get them both replaced with only a $100 deductible.

Good luck with warranty! Most warranties do not cover struts, which are what those are considered. And if they do, they will only cover what is actually bad, not things in pairs, etc. I had to pay for mine out of pocket. Fortunately aftermarket ones are not too expensive (for Merc parts) and not to hard to install yourself.
Im not trying to be a party pooper but just saying what I just experienced.

First Choice Auto covered my airmatic strut. It is about how you word the requested repair. Sunil @ Motorwerks had to state the strut was fine and one of the air valves failed. Had he said the strut is bad they would deny the requested repair.

Shardul, in my case (which also seems like the OP case), the airbag on the strut leaked... How would you word that? Because to replace the airbag, you have to replace the strut...?

Update: turns out it was the Airmatic Level Sensor.
Part: $210
Labor: $275
Cleared the error but they asked me to keep an eye on it, just in case it isn't the sensor. Oh, ok.
