Need Advice, Suspension - Airmatic Pump Problems
I’m really needing advice on what could be wrong with my 09' CLS63 AMG which is currently having airmatic compressor problems. I purchased the car back in Decemeber and just out of nowhere began having problems.
Here are the currents of events:
4/28/14 - I noticed my car making vibration noises from the drivers side fender. I looked through the screen of my grille the airmatic pump moving and going crazy. I unplugged for 10 min. then replugged the battery and it stopped. Once I drove the car again, stopped and turn the car off the problem repeats.
4/30/14 – I took the car to the dearlership and was told the airmatic compressor was blown so I had it and the relay replaced.
5/2/14 – No issues until I got a check engine light and a airmatic malfuntion warning.
5/3/14 – Airmatic compressor repeats the initial issue by not turning off once the car is off. I had to pull the battery once again to get it to stop. Usually 10 minutes of no battery juice gets it to stop but the moment I drive and park the turn off the engine the compressor continues to run.
5/5/14 – I take the car back to the dealership, get a call later that day and told the brand new pump had blown also. The dealership kept the car overnight, took out my Carlsson Lowering Module off and replaced the airmatic compressor and relay again.
5/6/14 – Today I pick the car up and drive home, shut the engine off and guess what; the airmatic compressor is still running.
I ended up taking the car right back to the dealership. I’m clueless as to what’s going on with my car, when the dealership runs the diagnostic everything checks out fine. They even removed my lowering module because they thought it may have been an issue. I have no leaks in my system according to the dealership and the airmatic system checks out as running to MB standards. Anyone have a clue as to what could be the problem?? I'm stressed beyond measure and the cost are starting to stack up.
