I was unceremoniously delisted from the WhatsApp Benz forum. When I was added, no one listed the rules for me to follow. And no remedial chance was given for 'erring' members. I'd like to be added again pls with the rules made known to me as well so I can follow and enjoy my membership of that forum. 08037791335. |

Good afternoon mercedes Gurus Two words . . . Air supspension Any advise please? Easy on me with technical terms pls. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 4:48pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
tearoses: Air Suspension the Rolls Royce of Suspensions fitted in Mercedes with mostly V8 engines. The ride is so soft and smooth like you floating through, drive through a bad road with Air shocks and you won't even notice. The only know con about the Air suspension is that the luxury comes at a very stiff price tag. A set not a pair I mean one unit depending on the model of the car can set you back about N100,000 to N250,000. If money no be problem then it's the best driving experience you get buy. at high speed the suspension reduces the ride height to give the car better grip and you can increase and reduce the height of the car. I hope this is clear enough. 1 Like |

cne010: Thank you for even bothering to respond & with not too much technical jargon For a car thats driven for approx 4 weeks a year, is it worth it? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 4:54pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
tearoses: Most German autos are made to be driven daily I can assure that if you park your car for a month or two you come back and meet a fault. The shocks might still be in an excellent condition test the pump if the rides goes up and down perfectly you may have a winner. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 5:05pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
cne010: As difficult as it is to beleive, I am beginning to agree with you My previous car was a Bm that did only 65,000k, fell ill and it never really recovered. Someone said it was due to lack of use & these cars are not meant to be left idle. Same thing is playing out again and everytime we come back to this car, there is something wrong with it . .usually minor stuff though As regards the suspension we noticed that the car sits really low on one side at the rear. Its an intermittent problem (we drove it for a week like that). Sometimes is rises and sometimes it doesnt & and we just parked it again and left it. Just wondering if its worth reparing it bearing in mind we hardly use it. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 5:14pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
tearoses: The car is worth repairing if you would use it often, if not I would advice you to get another car the suspension is already given signs it should be checked out looks like it is on its way out. Sadly if you're hardly in the country you should have someone that would be driving it often for you. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 5:22pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
cne010: Thanks for the advise No we wont use it often Its mostly covered and parked |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 5:25pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
tearoses: whats the car in Question? Set it free and find it a new home where the new owner will show it the loves and care it needs daily on the tarmac a v8 is a steady joy to drive. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 5:44pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
