2000 Mercedes-Benz S430 question regarding failure of Airmatic Pump, Air suspens
What is your question?
Thank your for reading my concern, and question.
This is what I know so far:
I purchased this card about (3) months ago and the car would lose air pressure in the front if i did not drive the car every day. I would let it sit for (3-4) days, and the car would be low in the front. Im unsure if this is normal, but, when I would start the card, and would rise with no problem. Even if i did not push the button on... but turn car on, the front would rise.
HOWEVER, last week I turn off the car, and a loud noise was coming from the air suspension pump. Even when the car is off the pump would shake really bad, and make loud noise.
TODAY, it makes no noise, does not shake, and the card wont rise. The car is not low in the back. Only in the front. And the right/passenger side is leaning more to the ground than the driver side. But, the driver side is low too.
i never heard air leaking from anything.
Could this be the air pump, or relay, or failed air shock?

Hello.... Just found out today that is it my air suspension pump. I was told my air bags and the lines look good. The pump im purchasing off ebay. Good luck to you.
Yes I did. Bought the part and installed myself following a YouTube video. Did not need to change the hoses or anything other than the pump. Been working fine ever since. Only hint if you do do it yourself is to remember how the rubber absorbers go from the old unit to the new, otherwise it should take about an hour and was very simple to do.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE.
