Looking for advice and recommendations: Mercedes SL Class Diesel (2014) with possible air suspension problems

Hi guys, my 2014 Mercedes SL Class Diesel now has just under 149,000 km on the clock and I've recently started having problems with excessive body roll and an uneven ride height. It occurred to me that it might be due to the air suspension compressor. Do you have any experience with similar problems and can you recommend a good mechanic? Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience at the last garage, so I'm hoping for a good tip from you. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a 2017 Mercedes S Class diesel and had practically the same problem with the bouncing and the uneven ride height. In my case it was actually the air bellows suspension that was faulty. It was quite an effort to change the part, but it was necessary to fix the problem. I can recommend a good mechanic, but I'm not sure if he's near you. His name is Jürgen and he has a workshop in Stuttgart. He specializes in Mercedes and has always solved my problems very reliably. Good luck with your car! Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Hey, interesting that you had the same problem, it reassures me a bit. Do you remember what you had to pay for the repair? And have you had any other problems since then or did everything go smoothly? Best regards!

Hi, after I carried out the mechanical repair, everything went like clockwork. The defect in the air suspension compressor was fixed and there have been no major problems since. All in all, I had to fork out €590 for the repair of the defective air suspension. But it was definitely worth it, if you ask me. Jürgen did a great job. Hope that helps you. All the best, buddy!

Hi, that's really useful information, thank you. 590€ seems reasonable to me if it solves the problem for good. I will contact Jürgen in Stuttgart and hope he can help me get rid of this annoying rocking. Thanks again for the help. You have helped me a lot! Best regards!
