Auris suspension failure

My 2018 Toyota Auris, gasoline engine, is giving me massive headaches. Only done 26k km, but the suspension is totally shot. It won't lift anymore, and it's leaning to one side like a drunken sailor. The dash is screaming errors, and the ride is bumpier than a dirt road. Error memory confirms issues. Any ideas? I'm guessing it’s the air suspension bellows valve…

That sounds rough. I had similar symptoms with my 2016 Audi A6 - turned out to be a faulty air spring. Have you checked for any obvious air leaks around the suspension system? Listen closely when the car tries to adjust the height or after a ride.

Air leaks, huh? I'll definitely give it a listen. Where exactly should I be focusing my attention? Any specific spots that are notorious for leaks?

With my Audi, it was the air suspension bag on one of the rear wheels which had a tiny hole. Also, pay attention to the valve itself, that air bellow valve can be tricky. But honestly, with those symptoms and error codes, it might be best to take it to a workshop that knows those systems. They'll diagnose it properly.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to a local shop, you were spot on, suspension air bag valve defective! Quoted about 590€ for the repair. Sucks, but at least I know what's up. Thanks again for the help!
