Today i got a call from my friend who is a Guru and works for a BMW dealership and he tolled me he got me a new compressor, i tell you this guy is amazing man, he does all the work for me on the side at his garage to avoid extra fees and long waits.

-tomorrow i will go to him and will se if the new compressor will do it, if not then it might be one of the air regulators.

zerochief thanks for the interest and support.

This problem is really KILLING ME.

replaced the compressor still no progress, car drives like a horse, bumpy and annoying.

another 4.8is owner has the same problem and after replacing the compressor he too is having problem as well.

both of us are getting this message when hooked up to a comp at the dealership.

PRESSURE RECEIVER ERROR, anyone had the issue yet?

he has ordered this part and i'am waiting for him to replace the part and see what happens.

i'am so annoyed that i have signed up pn a Mercedes-benz forum and i'am finding out things about ML53, and thinking to pull the trigger because i'am getting extremely annoyed that i can not enjoy my X due to tyhis crazy problem.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Make sure they have the ride height set correctly through the computer. I had another tech accidentally set a 4.8is at 780mm instead of 708mm, rode high and extra rough/bumpy ride with some suspension error faults. Fixed in 20 minutes by resetting the ride height to the proper level.

Measure the ride height from the bottom lip of the rim to the lower edge of the fender lip. It should be 708mm. If it is higher something is wrong.

Thats 708mm at the middle setting correct? What are the specs of the lowest setting and highest setting?
