    W220 air matic issue over 65mph

    I’d decided not to go there :-) They were pretty good when I had a skateboard.

    W220 air matic issue over 65mph

    You certainly don’t have a leak, which is good. There are height sensors by the looks of things and they can fail.

    W220 air matic issue over 65mph

    I expect it’s trying to lower itself at around that speed and that triggers the error. There are web pages with troubleshooting steps that you could look at. Like this - http://www.mercedesmedic.com/air-suspension-troubleshooting-airmatic-visit-workshop/

    Looks great. Super car for the journey home. Especially the massage seats.

    Welcome, nice machine. I feel I’ve failed your ‘spot the difference’ competition. :-)

    Feeling ripped off

    How can you say they’ll last half as long? I expect they just make this up. When the local Mercedes tech was down on figures, he said discs and pads would be the first thing on the list. Safety items were such an easy sell. I like being safe, but that’s not a good excuse to rip me off, IMO.

    Feeling ripped off

    I’ve never seen any law regarding disc thickness, so I wouldn’t be impressed. Better to talk about disc thickness and get the minimum and maximum from the manufacturer. Scored discs will accelerate pad wear and maybe they should have said that. No wonder people don’t trust garages.

    Thank you. That’s a good summary of what the car offers. I’m enjoying the luxury and comfort, but the car can also shift when you want to.

    Monkey Harris Made Me Do It

    Thanks for the welcome and the very kind words. In the mid-90s I met a bloke that let me drive his SL60. That was the first AMG I recall. Didn’t imagine I’d ever own an AMG like that.

    Monkey Harris Made Me Do It

    Thank you both. The Mercedes Guides app has been useful. I like to read up about cars I buy. I’ve got the launch brochure too, though that was probably a bit less helpful. I tried sport mode today. That feels like a shot of adrenaline. Not that the car feels like it needs one.

    Monkey Harris Made Me Do It

    New to Mercedes with an S63 Coupe I’ve owned for a couple of weeks. It’s a 2016, so pre-facelift with the 5.5. My lack of Mercedes knowledge means I have a lot to learn about the features on the car.

    Want...

    Airscarf option appears on later cars. I saw a few over the last few weeks. There have been about 30-odd cars for sale whilst I was looking. I think Chris Harris helped convince me to buy one. I’ve had it a fortnight now.
