R Klasse suspension damping error

My 2016 Mercedes R Klasse with a Gasoline engine is showing a damping adjustment error. It has 278065 km. The error is stored, a warning light is on, and the ride is very bumpy. I suspect a cable or plug issue. The workshop quoted 95€ for the repair. Has anyone else experienced vehicle suspension or damping control issues?

Yep, had the same issue with my R Klasse. Check the shock absorber connections. Sometimes a loose or corroded plug can cause that. It messes with the car handling too.

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you be more specific about which connections I should be looking at? Are there particular ones known to cause this issue? I'm not super tech-savvy, so any guidance would be appreciated.

It was the ones directly on the shock absorber itself. But honestly, if you're not comfortable with it, just take it to a workshop. Could save you a headache.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to the workshop, and it turned out to be exactly what you said – a faulty connection on the shock absorber. They cleaned it, secured it properly, and the error is gone. Ride comfort is back to normal. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
