How does the Mercedes Benz Airmatic system work?

The combination of adaptive damping that adjusts based on road quality and driving style in concert with air springs makes for an extremely comfortable ride.
Where does the water pump connect to the radiator?
The bottom hose connects between the water pump and the bottom of the radiator and also acts as a junction point for other circuits within the system, notably the bypass hose and the heater return. On some installations, the main header tank feed connects into the bottom hose, on others this connects directly to the bottom of the radiator.

What to do if there is no power to the air suspension pump?
If there is no power going to the air suspension compressor, check the air suspension fuse and relay. Here is a picture that shows no power to the air suspension pump. The next step would be to use a professional diagnostic scanner such as the iCarsoft MB II to check the fault codes for the Air Suspension Control Unit.
Where is the air compressor on a car?
