2000 S500 Sitting Super LOW. Airmatic Issue
Hi there, this is my first post so here goes. I know this issue has been talked about extensively in these forums but I havent been able to find out a true fix.
I just bought a 2000 S500 with airmatic this week. The car is beautiful and only has 46k miles. Every morning when I go out to the car it sits super super low on all fours. Almost as if the tires are touching the inside aprons. When I unlock the door it starts to raise and after I start it it takes only 30 seconds to get to normal height. I don't have to push the button.
It takes about 6-10 hours for the car to sink so low, but once up it runs beautifully. The air compressor is not running extensively and I only hear it when I start up the car in the morning.
Please help!

Same thing!
I too have a 2000 S5000 with same problem! I have to push the button on the dash to raise. Then while driving last week a heard a big explosion in the rear pass side strut. The the rear ens sunk. Now the car is sitting all the way down on all four wheels. I need a rear strut, and the front two struts are leaking through the strut tower caps!! I'm in Dallas area. Labor?? Parts ?? TB
