Adam Suspension Issue

Hey, bit stressed! My 2014 Vauxhall Adam (gasoline engine) is playing up. It's done 169690 km. Basically, the car is leaning to one side and won't lift anymore. The ride is super bumpy, and I'm getting an error message on the speedometer. The error memory is showing something about the suspension. Could it be the bellows valve? Anyone had similar?

A 2014 Vauxhall Adam with 169,690 km is experiencing suspension issues, leaning to one side, and displaying an error message related to the suspension. A hissing sound suggests a potential leak in the air suspension bellows, likely the valve. The recommended solution is to have the vehicle professionally diagnosed and repaired, which successfully resolved the issue.

Oh, that sounds rough. I've got an Adam too, and I had a similar issue a while back. Vehicle wouldn't lift and was all wonky. How does it sound? Can you hear any hissing, like an air leak, near the suspension?

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I think I can hear a slight hissing sound coming from the suspension on the side that's leaning. So, you reckon it's the bellows valve then? What did you end up doing to fix it?

Sounds very similar to what I experienced. While it could be something else in the suspension system, that hissing noise is a strong indicator of a leak in the air suspension bellows, most likely the valve itself. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it too much yourself. It's a tricky system. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed and repaired.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – it was the bellows valve. Cost me 590€ to get it sorted, but at least it's fixed now. Appreciate your help!
