Thx Mike. Appreciate the response.. I also suppose you did not have to re calibrate. Looks like you just replaced the shocks and the.valve. Yes its true my compressor does not run all the time. Just when I start the car.
thanks for the video, i have a question, why my mercedes gl450 release some air from the suspension intermittenly??
That depends.. when does it happen
It's just releasing build up pressure
Mike.. would you be able to let me know what the symptoms were of a bad valve? My car rear drops if I keep it parked for some time. Both wheels however at the same time.
My son is a certified mechanic, sending you his answer.
If both sides are down that would be a sign of the air struts being defective. The valve being defective would typically cause a fuse to blow because it’s going to over work the compressor. Usually when air struts are starting to leak it’s usually a good time to replace valve block and compressor in conjunction of the air springs but it’s not mandatory( typically air struts, then compressor w/ valve block). Hopefully that answers your question!
Next Sunday I will post a video on how to change an air compressor and suspension air compressor filter.

Disconnect the fuse from the compressor?
Make sure the fuse is removed before uninstall. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch this video. Mercedes GL 450 How to Replace Air Suspension Compressor Fuse, Step-by-Step Guide

No recalibrate needed?
Just start the car and let it run. The Valve Block Suspension Control Sensor will do its job.
Why didn’t you use the new Mercedes fittings? Just cut the line , light sand to round and re-insert? The advantage would be you would have new gaskets all around? I’d like to know. I’m about to do this job. If you bought cheap one from Amazon I could understand why you would re-use the fittings.
I always try to keep original parts whenever possible.
Thank you for your question.
Actually you do not need to cut the lines at all. What you should actually do is push the nut higher up the line and will expose the keepers. Break those off as the valve block will have new nuts installed as seen in video. Once you remove the keepers and nuts it’s just push to connect no cutting necessary!
But when you remove the old fittings the plastic tube that is left is no longer nice and flat. It is gauged from the old fitting. so that is why I’d cut the end off and lightly sand. Make sense?
@@mespartacusyeah that definitely makes sense! I typically have never really gouged it. But sanding it doesn’t hurt especially if the end of the fitting is not flush. But usually what I have ran in to usually is still flush.
