Mercedes AIRMATIC Air Suspension Repair in Hyderabad
Air Strut, Compressor & E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL Specialists
Metre Per Second is Hyderabad's specialist for Mercedes AIRMATIC and AIR BODY CONTROL suspension repair. From leaking air struts and failed A166/A222 compressors to valve block, level sensor and E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL 48V faults, we diagnose with XENTRY, restore correct ride height and calibrate to factory spec on E-Class, S-Class, GLE, GLS and GLC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Mercedes show 'Vehicle Too Low'?
This appears when a corner loses air overnight, usually from a leaking air strut, valve block seal or fitting. We run a leak-down test to find the exact source before quoting.
Can you replace just one air strut?
Yes. If only one corner leaks we can replace that strut, but we always inspect the others and calibrate ride height afterwards so the car sits level.
Why does my GLE/GLS compressor keep running?
A compressor that overruns is almost always compensating for a leak. If ignored it overheats and burns out. We fix the leak first, then replace the A166 compressor and relay if needed.
Do you use genuine air struts?
We fit genuine Mercedes struts or premium OE-grade units from Bilstein/Arnott depending on your preference and budget, both with warranty.
Is calibration necessary after repair?
Yes. Any AIRMATIC or E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL work requires XENTRY four-corner ride-height calibration so the sensors read correctly and the car sits at factory height.
Do you repair E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL on the new S-Class?
Yes, we diagnose and service the 48V E-ABC hydraulic system on W223 S-Class and W167 GLE/GLS including pump and actuator faults.
Customer Reviews
My GLE showed 'Vehicle Too Low' every morning. The team found a leaking rear air strut, fitted a genuine one and calibrated the ride height. Sits perfectly now and no more warnings. Great work at Kondapur.
The AIR BODY CONTROL compressor had failed and the car was crawling. They replaced the A222 compressor with relay and dryer, then calibrated with XENTRY. Ride is silky again and price was far below the dealer.
One corner was sagging overnight. Valve block was cross-leaking. They resealed it and recalibrated. Honest diagnosis and saved me from a full strut replacement I was quoted elsewhere in Gachibowli.
