Hi, I have an older gl class (2008) and have a problem where rear right side is lover than all 3 sides. Before it was leaking, till it blown up. Now I have replaced suspension air bags on both rear sides. After change, the car looks unlevel at back. I did change a hight sensor on right side, but after all the problem is still there, where do I need start to look ? Even the Mercedes workshop arent helping, they are only guesing that its some where in wires, and charge per hour they use, to find the problem.
Might need to replace your Air Suspension Valve Block
Valve block
Does the compressor goes off like let's say every hour or so there is no malfunction light what is the problem if there's one thanks
If your system is in good condition, the compressor should run for a few seconds then turns off. If it is running a lot you have a leak (in most cases).
@@YOUCANIC thank you
What is it when it's suddenly making a loud noise?
Great video, my ML says “ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM malfunction” what could be the reason
My GLE 63 AMG S says the same
My 2014 GL450, have the same malfunction light on this morning while I was driving. T he driver side wheel went down 4” .
Probably the air suspension went wrong already.

malfunction pop ups on cluster, but if i turn off the engine and remove the key and start again the sign of malfunction disappeared. could you explain to me what triggering the malfunction popups at cluster
Read the codes from the airmatic control unit. That would explain it.
My warning light didn’t start appearing until after I had to have the right front strut replaced on my 2012 GL550. Coincidence or connection? Should I address this with the mechanic that replaced that strut? Or treat as a completely different issue?
Thanks for your question. It might be a coincidence or there might be a connection between the two issues. We recommend speaking to the mechanic who replaced the strut, as they can give insight into your vehicle's condition.

I have 2011 mercedes e550 airmatic suspension, sometimes the front end drops when parked for over a period of 3-4 hours or while driving and sometimes it rides fine and doesn’t drop even drop overnight. Is it a valve issue?

I have the malfunction light come on 5-10-15-30 minutes later, but the rear passenger suspension is way lifted/higher compared to the remaining 3 suspensions. What's the cause of this? Is it problem #2?
Did you fix the problem?? I have same problem.
@theotherhalfoftheang Yes, I fixed the problem. The self-leveling sensor in the rear passenger was broken, but nothing with the compressor for me. Had to get the self-leveling sensor replaced, and now it levels evenly.
@nottryinghard1023 what happens to mine is that shows the suspension light up and the rear lowers down, when i wait for a while I'm able to lift it up with the lift botton and stays like that if its not moving but after driving for 5 minutes it shows light again and goes lower, 2 mechanics have checked and they seem to not find any physical problem with it, it's so annoying, any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
@theotherhalfoftheang It could mean that there is a leakage in the airbag for the air suspension. Maybe you should try taking out the suspension and inspecting it. Unless the mechanics already did that.
@nottryinghard1023 thanks for your reply I really appreciate it 🙏, update my mechanic said its the airbags, yesterday i got them from the store and give it to him hopefully it will be ready today or tomorrow i honestly dont care when i onky care that my suv be ready up and running without any other problems by the end of this week or next one if necessary 🙏🤞

@@YOUCANIC I was hoping you would answer my question and not try to sell me a product
I’ve got a W222 2014 model with 70,000 miles with immaculate service history car has wanted for nothing and always OEM parts fitted.
Had problems with air matic suspension and believe me it’s eye watering expensive to repair it’s not a question if it will leak it’s when . I am thinking of removing and going over to springs
Why don’t you buy the OE part and DIY. It’s not that difficult. I could also recommend a junk yard if you wanna find the original mercedes part with lower miles if money is that eyewatering that you can’t even keep that immaculate service history clean as it is(was)
I got a 2015 c250 here australia, car has 99k kms (61k miles) When I dont drive the car for a week the rear suspension drops, when I turn the engine it rises, is this Normal?
The phenomenon of your car's rear suspension dropping after a week of inactivity isn't entirely abnormal, but it isn't something to ignore either. It could indicate a small leak or wear in your air suspension system. We recommend using the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner [www.youcanic.com/scanner] to diagnose potential issues.
Beyond that, if you have any more questions about your car's condition or need further guidance, don't hesitate to ask on our platform: www.youcanic.com. We're committed to making car repairs more understandable and approachable for owners like you and provide a wide variety of resources to help you in your automotive journey.
@@YOUCANIC thanks for your reply
My gl450 2014 shows the malfunction light and the rear dropped, took it to 2 different mechanics (friends of mine) both find no physical problem, tomorrow i will go to another one before i go to the dealership for them to fix it if noone finds what it is.
Check on your Air Suspension Valve Block
@stevianrey7751 thank you, i already fixed the problem it was a broken air bag
@@theotherhalfoftheang Glad it's fixed!! Good to hear!
@@stevianrey thank you 😊
@theotherhalfoftheang when you had issue could you hear the air trying to fill kinda behind the tire where the problem is
I had a truck transport my 2018 Mercedes GLS from Florida to Illinois . After picking car up the MALFUNCTION light came on after a few minutes and rear end of car sits very low. In addition the SUV drives very rough. Any ideas as to reason this may have happened?

Hi, I have 2013 Mercedes ML63 and all right passenger side suspension alot higher than the left side. Also there is a malfunction light and suspension lift button does not function.
Were you able to figure out your problem? I am having the same issue
Mine was left front air shock was leaking. I ended up replacing it by myself. Wasnt too hard if you know how to wrench.@@joshuaruiz85
How do I rent your scanner?
This was a waste of time, If had a scanner I'm pretty sure I can use it just as well as you. Also if the level sensor doesn't read correct it will keep on trying, or stop due to the fact that it doesn't know what the various levels are. You will hear a leak if it has one.
Well there is no magic solution. If you just want to throw parts at it then you can.
I keep getting it fix but it wouldnt even last 2 months. What is the problem
Have you thought of ever making this into a film?The amount of time you took to get to the point.This is the most boring Video i've seen
