Hello sir, I have a question. For me, the shoulder area is completely inflated and I cannot change it with the command. is there a way to release all the pressure and air? the chair is definitely not comfortable.
Google “Voss fittings”. Go to their website and read the instructions on how to connect them. It’s very easy. Take off the old brass fittings (two pieces) torque the new fittings with the white plugs to 2nm. Simply remove the plug, press in the air line until it stops and them pull back on it firmly to seat it. That’s it.
I have a 2013 S550 and I'm experiencing an issue where the right side keeps sagging. The suspension compressor stopped working, so I replaced it. However, the new compressor still doesn't turn on. I've checked the relays and confirmed there's power. My question is: if the valve block is malfunctioning, could it prevent the compressor from turning on at all, or should the compressor still activate regardless of the valve block's status? Essentially, I want to know if a faulty valve block can stop the compressor from even starting up.
I understand this is an older video but a fantastic job on the installation of the valve block and the video itself. No obnoxious music and excellent voice over. Great job and thank you!👍🏼
So you changed the valve block, but in the process noticed there was also an issue with the airline. So you fixed the air line and connected it to the new valve block. Was the issue a bad airline? …or the valve block? What did I miss here?
Great video! How did you manage to detach the top of the felt strip from the frame? I've tried it, but failed as there was soo little room for my fingers that I couldn't grab the felt properly.
I just had to buy one seat bolster and 2 seat control modules to get my massage seats up and running in my s65, thanks for the video, looks easy enough but I’m still going to have a pro do it for me
Thanks for the video. I'm guessing your car was sinking consistently no matter where or how it was parked? I think valve body issue is when the car will sink randomly, e.g. sometimes in 10 minutes or other times, will not drop at all, for over a 1 week.
Hi, I have the opposite problem. Rear shocks are both maxed out. Rear shocks are as high as they can go and don't deflate. Could it be the same block causing the problem? Lines need to bleed.
Does anyone know how to remove the plastic base on the seat? I have a big leak from the supply line but I can’t access it without removing the plastic trim
4:25 "At this point I disconnected the front right line, and you can see the shock move up for some reason". The vertical position of the wheel reflects an equilibrium between pressure in the air bag, and tension in the shock. When you disconnect the air bag, there is no longer pressure in it, so the tension in the shock makes the wheel move up. Thanks for the nice video, going for it on my 2013 E550 now.
After I replaced the strut, I’m getting a “vehicle rising please wait” on the dash. I wait and nothing happens and the car doesn’t rise but i can clear it by pressing ok. It doesn’t come back on unless I turn off the car.. I replaced all the fuses/relays and hear the compressor reservoir kick on. Any ideas?
Just bought another CL a few days ago. The dealership diagnosed the valve block electrical part as defective. $1,895, I said “no thank you”. I love having something to do, so I just ordered a valve block and will be doing the job in a few days. Did you do anything to support the rear or just let it drop?
I have a 08 s550 with a malfunction. The rear passenger is stuck in the air and the ride is so stiff that it's bouncy. The suspension malfunction error code says "fault in component (right rear suspension plunger valve)" someone said it's the front valve block. I'm wondering if that is it. I'mma change it and see if it fixes my problem.
You know I have a problem with my W211/ E550. 2008 Airmatic left wheel. I replaced the strut already. I thought I'm set! NOT! the Airmatic pump kicked in after starting the engine. Went to the correct ride height! Then turned off. My left front went right back down. I raised it again to double check everything even torch specs. Cleaned all the electrical components connectors. Made sure every one of them clicked on the other connectors. OK I'm set now. It worked. Yeppie! Then I checked all Airmatic settings inside the Car. Worked really great, then I turned my wheel left and the pump came on again? Then straight. Everything is fine. Then turned my steering wheel to the left. The left front side went down again. I pulled the wheel off. Checked everything again including the ride height sensor. Everything was fine. I am waiting for a W211 air compressor valve block hoping it will solve this problem 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with this Airmatic system. Sounds very similar!
After parking GL450 overnight, both front wheels are lowered down. Once starting the car, then air compressor starts then the wheels are up to the normal position again. I can drive the car with no problem. No error or ant warning message at all. Do you think what is an issue here. Can I still keep driving a car without fixing this.
if only one wheel is down, it's usually that strut is leaking. if more than one wheel is down, then usually it's the valve block. cracked hose, as seen in this video, is an unusual finding.
I was gifted an 2002 S500 .. it’s got an issue where over night the rear would be ok the floor .. where should I begin to look at to diagnose the problem? And also another issue it’s got, is the battery would die within minutes after shutting the vehicle off, maybe the air pump will kick in when noticing it’s loosing pressure? Am I able to test for parasitic draws on these vehicles?
Thank you 🙏!!!!! The lower back lumbar on the drivers side fills up and obviously has a hole and deflates. 🤦♂️ - when I try to use the seat settings on the front display it will go back to 0? I purchased my 2011 S550 42k 1 owner a year ago- from a reputable Mercedes Dealership I think I probably got screwed- there’s a slight pull to the right when driving and for some reason the ride is not very comfortable? I would be grateful for any advice you could give me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sounds like there's a hole in the lumbar bladder. Unfortunately, I think those bladders are buried in the seat, it's a bit of a pain to get them out. You have to take off the headrest and completely remove the seat leather. Regarding the ride, mine was harsh too when I was on 20" rims. I switched to 18" rims and they're much better.
I own a W211 E320, the rear bellows come down after a few days when parked, but there is no problem while driving, I hope it is caused by a small hose crack, the test device does not show any malfunction, your video is very useful, I congratulate you, I subscribed to me, I can repair my own vehicle, but I do not have a garage, you are very lucky you are younger than my son but you are doing very well
