W219 Air Release

[pvitoria]

I recently replaced my Airmatic compressor, and now I can hear it bleed air even when I'm driving like a truck. Could the compressor be faulty?

Do you have a XENTRY? If so, you can test out the Airmatic compressor.

Have you checked for air leaks in your XENTRY? Check the compression once.

 

[pvitoria]

No, it hasn't worked out yet, but I'll try to do it as soon as possible.

I checked it yesterday and didn't find any leaks. Could it be the compressor since it's third-party?

 

[Mersovod]

The Airmatic system has an air filter purge mode. In this mode, air from the system is returned to the air filter. This is normal.

Thanks, I also changed the filter and relay. When I installed the new compressor instead of the original one, I did not notice any air sound.

Try jacking up the car slightly by the front wheels. If there's a leak, you'll be able to hear it. Do this on both sides.

Try checking for leaks by spraying a leak detector spray on the Airmatic compressor. Sometimes the Airmatic compressor housing leaks air.

You can also just spray it with soap and water. It works phenomenally.
