It is a direct OE replacement for the 2006-2012 Mercedes-Benz R-Class (W251) and is built to restore proper air distribution between the compressor, air springs, and air struts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Mercedes-Benz R350, R320, R500, R550, and R63 AMG applications, this valve block addresses common wear-related air leaks and control issues that can develop as original O-rings dry out or internal solenoids are affected by moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArnott NEW product line air suspension solenoid valve unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OE replacement for the factory valve block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific fitment for select Mercedes-Benz air suspension applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-pin terminal design with 3 connectors and 3 ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale rectangular connector configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard grade replacement with hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-reference: Mercedes-Benz 2513200158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Arnott VB-3499 valve block controls how compressed air is routed through the suspension system. In normal operation, it distributes air from the compressor to the air springs and air struts so ride height and suspension response remain consistent. When the original block begins to leak or the solenoids degrade, the compressor may cycle more often and the system can lose pressure control. VB-3499 is engineered as a direct replacement for the OE unit on the Mercedes-Benz R-Class platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part number, VB-3499, is also referenced for Mercedes-Benz OE part number 2513200158. It is a specific-fit component, not a universal valve block, and should be matched to the vehicle’s suspension configuration before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir leaks caused by dried or damaged valve block O-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressor overwork from repeated pressure loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture-related solenoid performance issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven air distribution to the suspension corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension warning lights or height-control faults related to valve block failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the vehicle’s suspension layout before ordering, especially on models noted as not suitable for vehicles with front air suspension. Verify connector style, port count, and OE part number match before installation. Clean the air lines and surrounding fittings during replacement to reduce the chance of contamination entering the new valve block. After installation, clear any stored suspension fault codes and check the system for leaks and proper ride-height operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eArnott’s NEW line is positioned as a direct OE-style replacement for factory air suspension components.
