Could it be that back in Dec I was seeing the ride control unit malfunction? Can the ride control unit malfunction and yet the accumulators are fine?

I've used the AHC occasionally. Definetly a couple times after my last July service. The dealer has come back and said they would split the cost. My part would be the parts due to wear and tear. According to them my portion is the accumulators ($7K). That seems pretty steep. Their reasoning is the system had deteriorated (I had them check the system back in Dec). I'm still skeptical of this.

I'm a new member and glad I've found this forum. I had been noticing my suspension being rigid for a couple months and took it in for a 120k service. I was told that my AHC system was totaled due to a non ACH fluid and it was even over-filled. Thier estimate was $10k, ouch! How long does it take for the spehers to go bad once the wrong fluid has been introduced? I had it last serviced in June and even had them check the AHC last Dec. And no I've never taken it to Jiffy lube, I shutter at the thought.
