Arona Air Suspension Problem

Hi, I have a 2018 Seat Arona with a gasoline engine. Recently, I've been having issues with what I believe is the air suspension. The car won't lift anymore, and it's leaning. I'm also getting an error message on the speedometer, and the low beams are all over the place. The error memory has stored something about load leveling malfunction and compressor failure. Could this be a bigger problem with the air struts or just a simple compressor issue?

Hey, I had something similar happen with my Arona. The whole car was leaning to one side. Have you checked the cable connections to the air suspension compressor? That was the culprit for me.

Where exactly are those connections located? Is it easy to check myself, or do I need special tools?

Yep, same symptoms. It's worth a look but you might need a mechanic. On mine, the connection to the compressor was loose and corroded. I wouldn't recommend trying to fix it yourself if you aren't comfortable with electrical work. A workshop will be able to diagnose it properly.

Thanks for the help. I took it to a local mechanic, and you were spot on. It was a defective connection on the compressor. They fixed the connection, and the error is gone. The total cost was 95€, so I'm happy it wasn't worse.
