@@Maknificent12now I'll be doing this repair next week. I will keep you updated. Still a great tutorial video.

@Humble glad it helped brotha! 🙏🏿thnx for watching, & excellent feedback! Let us know how it turned out when done!

@@Maknificent12now just diagnosed that problem the other day...waiting on parts then will replace and look for a local place for reprogramming.

Howd everything work out?

While I put my car in the shop because of the airmatic problem and decided to fix the body up . When I took the left fender off I think I seen this so they can be the problem too ? Ima just put on ramps and check for leaks for now .

Thanks for watching. I’ll have to take a look

Glad you liked it! more to come, stay tuned!

Glad it helped champ! Lemme us know how it turns out!

did itwork?

@@ctravis595 i will be starting it tomm/Wed at the latest. Since i replied to the post i found out i need the front lower control arm bushings. Ordered a 12 piece set and will be doing both the L & R sides inclu the R strut. Thanks for asking and i will let you know how i made out. Thx.

Glad it was helpful!

replace the strut, unless u you already did, double check the electrical connectors are put correctly

Where is this valve? Thankyou

I believe the valve is on each line am I correct

@@jnjn-u4297 It is a brass piece on top of each strut.

How do you reset the pressure valve

Thanks!

working great man! no issues whatsoever!

👊🏿

thnx

Still haven't watched videos or worried bout suspension bout a few other cars actually

🙏🏿

@ElBey Hey champ! Shoot me an email @ maknificent2@gmail.com with more details. Can't promise anything but i'd be happy to see what ideas come to mind

Thanks!

This is a shot in the dark but first guess is the position or angle sensor might be going out on the right side.Again just a guess w/o much info but let us know how it turns out or what happens. Check out what these look like. tinyurl.com/yytcrd2s. depending on your frustration level might be time to do an arnott coils switch. decisions decisions

I’ll look for it & post ASAP

Screech, whine, or rubbing noise?

@@Maknificent12now hello my friend thank you for replying, it's a very low pitched noise like a compressor but a bit more quiet, that's the best way I can explain it haha, it lifts as it should do and stops when she gets to her ride height but I'm now worried the dreaded suspension problem is going to hit me 4 months into ownership!

@@musyesim2614 how’s it been ?

@@allstarbleeder still a bit noisy like a rumbling noise but going up and down as needed, I'm just concerned it could pack up at any point and leave me stranded

@@musyesim2614 same boat brotha! It’s actually @ the shop as we speak but not for the suspension- cheers

First guess is the position or angle sensor is going out on the front right side. Check out. Check out tinyurl.com/yytcrd2s

sorry what's your question?

When was last time you checked stabilizer link?

To be clear are your tryna to say fuse 31 is inoperative? Or that the fuse is burned out? If so plz let me ask the obvious question of why not just replace ?

Whats issue? Old one break or leaky? You pretty much install fitting same way you’d install broken or leaky fitting for a rusty break line for example. Let me know what’s issue with fitting n I might have a suggestion

I wonder that too, i can't get on the little locking ring or what ever its called, on the tube. If you found a solution please answer, i would help a lot😁

great suggestion. have you done for yours?

Ouch! That’s crazy! Sounds like mechanic is compensating for potential challenges because it’s an older vehicle.

@@Maknificent12now what do you mean lol

@@jDot2414 I mean I don’t know all details but when someone quotes that much I’d love to see bill chart to see exactly what’s costing so much...if it’s a part you can typically get it cheaper somewhere else and find a mechanic who will do same job. Only difference is they may not warranty the work bc they are using your part. Most mechanics look down on using parts they didn’t buy bc if the liability. Bottom line look at billing receipt to find out what’s taking up the bulk of charges and decide from there.

@@Maknificent12now ok got ya! Sorry didn’t understand at first , thanks for the help

Both fronts? You typically don’t wanna just start throwing parts at a problem without properly diagnosing the issue (expensive way to fix a problem) but w/o being there & just throwing a suggestion out there might look at your strut height position sensors?

Maknificent12 yes it’s both fronts,they won’t deflate,could be from the leak in the rear airline..

I’d be interested to find out what you find out. If it’s stuck I’d put my $ on height sensor? Lemme know

@@romanblloyd1 mine is doing the same! Did you figure it out?

Maknificent12 thank you Sir I will do exactly what you suggest.this is big help thanks again

how'd everything work out bud?

Maknificent12 it was the fuse.Thanks for your help and asking.I appreciate you!!!

@DreDay nice! 👏🏿

None of struts ride at all?? 🤔 Just happened randomly in one day? Just a guess but start with easiest fix first by inspecting airmatic fuse relay usually located in fuse box under the hood. Mine was on passenger side near windshield. If you have a diag tool you can (1)test your air canister reservoir to ensure it’s getting air, if good maybe (2) inspect air lines on your valve block to ensure not plugged and (3) while you’re at it check valve block. I ended up needing a new block bc even though lines were clear the block was plugged up

@@Maknificent12now it has been dropping from time to time and come back up, now its down flat and wont come back up

@@ralphwhitaker8761 So when struts drop are you saying they all drop simultaneously? Or do different ones drop. What have attempted so far?

@Mugenk20a btw Some claim they had success just pulling the airmatic fuse but I believe error came back. Some cool over kits come with an override but if yours did not....The for sure way of doing it requires someone with a STAR diagnostic system so you can program it out of the instrument cluster. Here are the steps I found from a forum I frequent First, turn off airmatic for the car by following these menu items: Control Units Body System Diagnosis Control Unit Adaptations Read Coding and Change if necessary Programming of Vehicle Equipment Set AIRMatic = NOT FITTED Press F3 to save the change Press F5 to send it to the car Second, disable AIRMatic in the instrument cluster: Control Units Information and Communication IC - Instrument Cluster Control unit adaptations Modification year or model year (not sure if this matters or how to know the right value; I guessed based on manufacture date of the car) Variant Coding Special Equipment (Wait a few seconds for all of the values to be read) Set Partial air suspension to NOT PRESENT F3 to save F5 to send it to the car That's it! No pulling fuses required and now you shouldn't see any warning messages.

@@Maknificent12now mind blown.

@@Maknificent12now lmao hes taking over harbor auto repair in houston

glad to hear it!

Yeah gotta either have know how or have disposable $ for mechanics

@@Maknificent12now and that equals shit quality. The last of the great, truly reliable and well built MBs were the late 1980's. It's been down hill since then. The real winners were the mid 90's with their biodegradable wiring harnesses. Jason is right, buy a honda and be done with this german junk!

You may need to use a bi-directional scanner to reset the error codes?
