Mercedes R Klasse Air Suspension Problem

My 2007 Mercedes R Klasse diesel has air suspension issues The car won't lift, it's leaning, and I'm getting error messages Diagnostics point to a possible cable or plug issue Any ideas on causes or solutions

Sounds like a pain Air suspension problems can be tricky First thing, have you checked for any obvious air leaks Listen closely around each air strut and the compressor itself Also, give the suspension components a good visual inspection Sometimes, a damaged air line is the culprit Has the ride height been noticeably different lately, even before this current issue

Thank you for your response I have not explicitly checked for air leaks, but I will perform this check Could you elaborate on how to identify a leak effectively Concerning the ride height, I did not observe any irregularities before the current problem manifested

Okay, so you haven't noticed any gradual changes To check for leaks, you can try spraying soapy water on the suspension components and air lines If there's a leak, you'll see bubbles forming But honestly, with the error messages you're getting, and the car leaning, it might be more than just a simple leak Given the potential electrical issue you mentioned, and your limited experience, taking it to a workshop for a proper diagnosis might be the best course of action It could save you time and prevent further damage to the suspension system

I appreciate your guidance I will heed your advice and consult a workshop The diagnosis confirmed a defective plug connection, consistent with the initial assessment The repair cost was approximately 95€ Thank you again for your assistance
