S320 Airmatic fault ...help!
Folks ,
I bought an S320 "2001" -55K, last month, and after 2 weeks the Airmatic developed a problem and they replaced the pump and 2 hose pipes . (I am new to this so please excuse technical ignorance). Fine, the horrible drilling type noise ceased and everything seemed ok. At this point may I say I have not had any computer readouts/ warnings of failure of any kind.
I drove home from work last night, switched the engine off, and from the front offside came an awful loud drilling/pumping/ and belching type noise which lasted for 7 minutes.....>>> yes , with the engine off! The airmatic I presume was shutting down and perhaps using battey power??
Any way , is it perhaps a relay/control unit/ sensor type of fault?
I will take the car to Mercedes garage tomorrow (under warranty), but I am just concerned and would like some independent advice to allay my fears,
thanks folks for your anticipated help
