Aveo Air Suspension Failure

I'm having a frustrating issue with my 2017 Chevrolet Aveo (gasoline engine). It has 213887 km on the clock. The air suspension seems to have failed. The car won't lift anymore, it's leaning to one side, and I'm getting an error message on the speedometer. The ride is incredibly bumpy now. I pulled the error codes and it points to a faulty air suspension bellows valve. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Summary of the thread

The 2017 Chevrolet Aveo is experiencing air suspension failure, resulting in the car leaning to one side and a bumpy ride. The issue is linked to a faulty air suspension bellows valve, as indicated by error codes. A suggested solution is to have the vehicle inspected by a workshop specializing in pneumatic suspension systems, which led to the identification and repair of the suspension air bag valve.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my old Volvo a few years back. Air suspension issues are a pain. Is it completely bottomed out, or just lower than usual? Could be an air leak somewhere in the system.

It's pretty much bottomed out. The compressor doesn't even seem to be kicking in. Where on your Volvo did you eventually find the leak?

On my Volvo, it ended up being the air spring itself that had a tiny puncture. But given you're getting valve errors, it's probably best to get it checked by a workshop that knows pneumatic suspension systems. I would have been chasing that leak forever otherwise.

Thanks for the insight! I took it to a shop, and you were right – it was the suspension air bag valve. Cost me 590€ to get it sorted. Appreciate the help!
