C70 Air Suspension Failure

Hello, I have a 2010 Volvo C70 with a gasoline engine. Recently, the air suspension seems to have failed. The car won't lift anymore, and it's leaning noticeably to one side. I'm also getting an error message on the speedometer, and the ride is incredibly bumpy. The error memory also has a stored error. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hey, I've got a C70 too, and your issue sounds awfully familiar. Had a similar problem with mine a while back. Was the error message specifically related to the suspension system? Did you hear any hissing sounds, like an air leak, before it completely went out?

Yes, the error message points directly to the suspension system. I did not specifically hear hissing sounds before the air suspension failure. Can you give more details about your problem? What was the root cause?

Alright, in my case, it turned out to be a defective valve in one of the air suspension bellows. Seems like a common issue. I'd suggest getting it checked out at a workshop; they should be able to pinpoint the exact problem. Ended up costing me around 600€ to repair.

Thanks for the info. I took it to the workshop, and you were right, it was the air suspension bellows valve. The bill came to 590€, but at least it's fixed now. Appreciate the help!
