Ive recently had the instrument cluster display a malfunction in the Airmatic and BAS systems.<br> The messages indicates for me to take the car to the workshop.<br> <br> I phoned the dealer, they told me to ignore it.<br> <br> is this a common problem? and is it a common solution to ignore it?<br> I just don't want them telling me to ignore it until the warranty runs out and then have them say there's a problem.<br>
I know nothing about this malfunction, but if my car did the same thing, I would bring it in and have it fixed. If there truly is nothing wrong, then they should have no problem resetting the warning message. Are you sure they told you to ignore it altogether, or just not worry about driving it until they can service it? Does it come on every time you drive? Are you supposed to live with this warning message until you sell the car and then its worth less? Will it just go away on its own? Sounds wacky!<br>

TAKE IT IN NOW ... 2000S had a problem with suspension system .. there was a bulletin
Our car's front suspension failed (car was 1 inch off ground) and then 3 weeks later the rear. And if the warning ever says DO NOT DRIVE - don't even if the dealer says bring it in. Our problem was the car was so low the flat bed tow truck couldn't get underneath to lift the car.
AIRMATIC: C1121, C1122, C1123, C1132, C1133, C1135, C1144, - water penetrates a level sensor plug 26/99-2 GROUP 32 - MODEL 220, AIRMATIC: If water penetrates a level sensor plug on the model 220 vehicles, a fault message ('Air suspension...contact workshop') from the air suspension system may appear on the instrument cluster display. In this case, some or all of the following faults will be stored in the DTC memory of the air suspension:-C1121, fault in component B24/3 (acceler. sensor)-C1122, fault in component B24/4 (acceler. sensor)-C1123, fault in component B24/6 (acceler. sensor)-C1132, fault in component B22/8 (level sensor)-C1133, fault in component B22/9 (level sensor)-C1135, fault in component B22/3 (level sensor)-C1144, fault in component B7 (pressure sensor)To determine the cause, disconnect and check the plug connection of each LEVEL SENSOR. When doing this, check whether all non-allocated cells of the electrical connector are provided with a blind plug. If this is not the case, install a blind plug and clean the plug connection. When reconnecting, there must be no moisture in the plug.Spare part number of blind plug:000 545 8780Damage code for warranty/goodwill claims:32547 47 level sensor, front axle32548 47 level sensor, rear axle 308 5/28/99

hi, i see your message,,,i am currently going to court in May against Mercedes and my dealership,,my cars suspension has failed over 10 times,,sometimes the total suspension, somtimes the rear suspension,,i have had over $20,000 of parts, new computers, new sensors, new wiring, new valves, new electronic struts, and this car still does not work,,including more failures and wornings to not drive the car,,good luck ever getting any satisfaction, except to sue the pants off these guys,,its an embarrisment for such a company to have so many problems, and not be able to fix this car,,,im in California, and my car has been parked in my garage for over one year, waiting for Mercedes to go to court,,,they even switched law firms in order to delay more and more, and now they are trying to postpone the court date,,in order to fustrate me and delay their final judgement from the local superior court,,,its a damn shame
