My 2008 CLS550 has the Airmatic warning light showing malfunction. It just started after I had left the car sitting unused for 3 months. I have searched the previous threads, but cannot find a detailed explanation.
Is it likely one of the air struts is leaking and needs to be replaced?
Could it just need to replace the strut tower cap?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

 

I would first run the codes and see what turns up, it'll give you a great place to start troubleshooting. Best of luck!

Good idea. I am taking the car to the shop on Monday for an oil change, so I will get them to check it. Thanks.

 

Well the mechanic says the code is 5508 Pressure Line Leak. He didn't have time that day to look for it, but I have booked it back in for next week. Hopefully it won't take too long to find the leak!

 

Glad to hear that it got sorted. Please let us know if there's anything else that we can help you with.

I also have a 2008 CLS550 and I had to replace the front left airmatic shock.
I appreciate you reporting back exactly where the leak is located once you know. It may be good reference info for other CLS owners, thanks!
