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/
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
