was leaking air.. am shipping it off tonight to tampa to get it fixed.. guy said it should be no problem and cost around 100 bucks.. hoping not to have some horror stories that i hear usually.. this is actually better than having to buy a new tire.. considering they are like 240 a pop.. unless he ruins my rim trying to fix it..

Before you go to the dealer for the ABS, do you have 4 wheels the same size on now? You said one was being fixed, If you've got the little oem wheel on that could be your problem.
well i haven't driven the car since i put the stock wheel on there as a spare.. but the abs light came on a few days after i had putting my 19's back on.. and didn't come back on again after that.. think it might be jsut the change of the wheels? if so good..
You guys HAVE to learn how to do your own diagnostics. The dollar amounts that you're paying the dealer are obscene. Changing the parts on a Mercedes-Benz is no more difficult than it is on most other cars. The good news is, running diagnostics on a car with OBD-II is much easier than the old days when I first got started. In some of the other car clubs that I'm currently in (and have been a member of in the past), we've had meets where we show the new guys how to run diagnostics and how to make adjustments. Running diagnostics with a scanner is a breeze.
