my dynamic seat started working yesterday and died. Found a hose leak in back of driver seat and plugged it but pump is not engaging. It clicks but doesn’t stay on, might have to buy a use pump; new costing $700 OEM.

my last stock driver front strut was changed this past Nov and rear bags were replaced in sep. passenger front strut changed in Nov 2015. All in all stock air suspension lasted 10-12 years for me.

2006 E55 Wagon
My 2006 E55 Wagon is still on the original airmatic shocks at 91K miles. Original system still works well but after traveling for a couple of weeks, the rear end was dragging when I went to the garage. Starting the car brought it back up to normal height and it's fine if I don't go more than 10 days or so without starting it. I'll have it checked soon but I'm guessing it's about time to start replacing some things.

On the dynamic seats, my passenger has been intermittent for 6 months or so and my driver's just went out last week. I don't use them much but I noticed the massage function didn't work when I tried it. I'll have to have that looked at as well but I haven't dug into it too much yet as it hasn't bothered me much.

Cheers,

Travis
