Just swap them out for coils. They have kits for it you can do it yourself in 3 hours or so. Best decision I've made. Air coils and pumps are too expensive
I have the suspension malfunction light today and the rear part went low i stopped the suv and press the lift botton and it does lift it but after driving for like 5 to 10 minutes it shows the light again and rear goes low again. It happened twice and i repear the lift process but i was able to get home and i dont know if it will go low while turned off, i don't know what to do
Yes...unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce issue and really concerned about it occurring while on vacation. To avoid risk, had rear air suspension bags changed for peace of mind at local European shop.. Work came with 3 yr warranty
Great video!!!! My 2009 GL450's front suspension was low but when I started the car it went back up to normal for a few days but not doesn't come back up. I changed compressor today but new one is not powering up. Does valve block needs to be replaced? Front shocks are good, no leaks. Air is not being pumped to front shocks. Second compressor is not pumping air. Why do you think this is happening? thank you very much
Installed new compressor and rear bags, next day car was super low, the compressor is kicking on but air is not getting to the bags. Did a diag and code c155664 and c156e00 was displayed. What do you think?
I’ve replaced the pump, valve , rear air bags, front air struts, etc. and the rear doesn’t seem to be expanding. The front goes up but the rear doesn’t seem to be working. Any other ideas or thoughts
My recommendation is to change out the valve and pump (pretty easy) if you’re doing any work on the airbags. They all seem to go at the same time. I also replaced the height sensors when replacing the airbags. Don’t forget the relay in the fuse box too
hi The, the biggest issue with this air suspension is going to be at the air valve or on Rear a small check valve in the middle and the last stop air bags
@@cliffgee5799 I still haven’t fixed the issue yet. I think it’s one of the airbags. It drops sometimes when I’m parked on a hill or when it’s cold outside. I think it has a slow leak on the right side airbag. When I fix it, I’m gonna make sure I make a video so hopefully I can help somebody out. Because this channel sucks.
I have the same problem on my 2011 GL450. The rear left will drop a bit sometimes when I park and lock it. When I unlock it or start it up the suspension raises back up. Most likely just need a new rear suspension air bag if not spring coil. My front driver side one went out completely on me last weekend so I just purchased the entire assembly off Ebay for that.
I replaced the pump 3 times since had truck 2014 got in 2019. Rear bags once and 1 rear bag again. Now down again. Tired of it , stupid up and down while you drive constantly adjusting air , stupid design. I cut lines up front and ordered Schrader valves to put on lines. Air darn thing up and stay. Now i see was front bags the whole time . Now gonna replaced them and keep pump disconnected. No sense in this. Too expensive of vehicle to all have same problems. Its 1 o the main problems and parts needed so they should oversized the air pump to last. Or have sense just like tires to let know which air bag is bad. 50$ fix on ebay from Europe. Except for the new bags needed
How do you know that the pump is working but the air valve isn't working? Cause I'm having the same issue, my mechanic said my pump is working (it makes sounds of it trying to pump whenever the car comes on) but the car isn't lifting. It's practically down on all 4 of its tyres Asked another mechanic and he said it could be my pump. So, I need to be sure before I do any thing else
@@richiejr6882my drivers side rear blew and I replaced both rear with Arnott. They both aired up some, but not enough to be normal driving height. I’m not sure what to try next.
Worked like a charm. Thank

Thank you very much. The dealer wanted 2300 U.S to fix this

Smart
Currently having this issue it's annoying, ordered the bags but they said has valve and compressor issue.

After replacement do you need to calibrate it.
Valve I have to use only marcedez Benz or after market?

Check the compressor filter or change the valve
Great vid, i have same issue with my 2005 S320cdi facelift model, would you know the part number for this car, us it the same as GL ? THANKYOU
i’m happy this video. It’s helpful if you look for any first number just Google it.
Can you share what tool you used and how you put the hoses back
I believe 10 mm wrench

Should I buy this vehicle with this problem for $2k
Which pump? Air pump ? Air compressor? Did GL 450 have 1 or 2 valve (each driver and passenger side)
I have a problem with my 2013 mb gl450. The rear drops sometimes on one side. But goes back up when I start the car up. Please help
I have similar intermittent issue (L rear) on 2017 GLS 450. It's in the shop now, 5/20/24, for analysis. What ended up being the issue with yours?

What if the pump is turning on but none of the shocks are pumping up and it's hitting potholes hard

@@trainingwithkap yeah, I did. One balloon needed to be changed but my pump is noisier than a tuned up beamer

No help 3 months later
why you keep repeating the same thing over and over
You’re trying , but this has to be one of the worst repair videos ever .
