Following a lot of challenges with my GL450 in the last 6 months (see http://www.benzworld.org/forums/gl-...rg/forums/gl-class/1586053-living-gl-nightmare-engine-transmission-service.html ), I have a new problem that is coming up and would love to get your feedback on this
:crybaby2:
The front right of the car starting to lower itself sitting idle in the garage a few weeks ago, first hardly noticeable, then more.
Then one could notice it when driving and I started to get notices 'Compressor overheating'.
I visit my friends at MB and sure enough the answer is "this is normal, the seals of the air suspension need to be replaced".
What sounds like simple thing (how expensive can it be to replace seals?) gave me the next shock. Parts $1600 plus installation and tax - total more than $2000 - PER WHEEL!!!
Of course I am getting the story that this is normal, that the heat of the climate is at fault and 'I should be lucky that it lasted 50,000miles'.
Have you ever heard of such a thing - that after 50k miles one has to replace seals for $8000 for the suspension??
Anyone had these issues?
