Replying to everyone, Floyd and I have had some emails on this as well. When the car is running and level, pressures are all 101-103psi.
After sitting two hours, left front is visibly lower, its pressure is about 70psi. The front right pressure is now higher, 111psi. Rears still a little over 100psi. I have used soapy water on the main pressure line from the compressor to the valve block, and the connections at the top of the front struts, no leaks evident. I have not yet checked the other lines from the valve block, annoyed at myself that I didn't do that before putting the fender liner back in. New front shock is quite pricy what else can I do to narrow down the problem? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-suspension-strut-assembly-e320-e500-e350-va5a226 On Fri, Feb 23, 2024, at 10:51, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: > You can scan it and see the pressures in the system, that will give you > some insight.
