Hi All,
I own a 2003 E55AMG 171000 miles, I car I absolutely adore and will not give up as long as I can. My local indie has found that the large pre shaped pipes that come off the top of the rear airmatic struts and go to the small air reservoirs on both sides are leaking, perished because of an oil leak from the drive shaft oil seals(obviously these are being replaced). I have the following questions:-
1) Can these pipes be replaced without replacing the entire strut?
2) If I have to get new struts, what's the difference between A2113201325 post 31/3/2003 and A2113200825 pre 31/3/2003.
3) Does the sub frame really have to come off for the new struts to be replaced?
4) Does anyone know where I can get the struts apart from a merc stealership?:evil:
Hope to get some positive results,
And Merry Christmas to all members.
Tony
