In my former S430 I had these front struts leaking. I took them out because you can't get a proper angle to repair it. So, take them out, use a dremel tool to remove the old resin. Clean it out well with thinner or something and fill it up with a good brand 2 component resin. That will do the job. It's worth the work if you can do it yourself and it's cheap and permanent. Don't drive the car too long with leaks, to avoid wear of the compressor.

I'm not sure why you don't have more subs. Great video on the s430. I love my 06 4matic. It goes through the snow like a banshee. The air struts are very simple once you understand the system. I dont fault anyone for converting to conventional struts but in my humble opinion you just can't be the air ride. The cost is pretty much the same and actually cheaper if you shop around. Have a great day!👍🏼💪🏼

I absolutely love love love these cars owned a couple over the years they drive and ride amazing so ahead of its time and cars out today will never compare the comfortable seats and motor and everything that it was equipped with but so sad that Mercedes didn’t put the time or effort into the abc system it was it’s biggest downfall the motor and transmission was built for a lifetime

Just clean those bubble eyes and it should good to go! Another great vlog! 🙌🏾

Hello how the find out those “on board pressure monitoring” please?And how about same but rear strut top leak using this epoxy?

Eddie from the UK living in Italy were going back to the UK I bought one online without saying it £4000 I hope it’s going to be okay it looks okay the photos wish me luck your videos very interesting thank you very much Eddie 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏🙏

I own the 2005 E500 and I hate the air strut , both leak and replaced 2 times already and it is very anoying every time open the door the air pump make big noise to pump the air to lift the car up. I m thinking replace 4 of them to spring coils kit.

Mine's totally Lord from the driver side front I cannot hear compressor at all just purchased the vehicle it was fine for a couple days what are your thoughts?

That was great.

Looks nice! Give a look to mine aswell if you intrested :P Stumbled across similar situation that i used to have same chassis based s class way before sold it but now got seriously cheap offer to an s500 wich has 118 700 original km-s on clock, sat since 2k18 in garage , left there due airmatic issue obv that standing killed some other parts aswell, managed to fix those :P

Updated 5/1/23 Just changed Airmatic compressor and both front Airmatic shocks and the front is still slammed not picking up atall

Looked like a lucky shot in the dark - you never bothered to actually check for leaks, you just plastered the tops with JB Weld... Why not spray soapy water first to verify that it was leaking there???

Ur pretty cool and explained well for been a black guy, i have same leak just like you so I'm gonna try to JB weld it as well. For everyone that's watching this video , to access the top of the rear air struts inside the car rear window you have access panels on each sided 😁.

You spent half the video showing the look of the car. Terrible

Humble yourself homeboy nobody cares about how many cars you have just howvto fix the shock

Why you didn't show how you apply JB Weld it could be all fake

Great, 20 min of mindless bs . Get to the point save everyone from all the time waiting for 5 min of information . Although it as a good emergency fix, I give you that.

Slow down your camera movement! Good grief! Jb weld to funny! You send the shock assemblies to a shop in California to be rebuilt. Or go to LKQ junkyard and pull them off of a junk car!

Mine had the main reservoir hose going from the pump to the reservoir cracked, put a new one, good as new.🤷🏻‍♂️
