W124 self levelling suspension (air lock)

[Scotty747]

Hi,
does anyone know how to bleed the air out of sls on a W124 "92" 300TD estate.
It has a leak at the rear but i let the reservoir run dry and now it's sagging on one side and knocking when going over bumps.
Also does anyone one have a rough idea how much i should pay for a second hand kit to convert it to springs & shock's.

Thank's in advance,
Scott

Just slacken one of the pipe clamps at the rear, start the car, it will blow bubbles of air and fluid, when all fluid do up the clamp

Don't do it. Repair what's there. Search this forum for advice on this
