C8 Air Suspension Problem

Air leaks, huh? I haven't stuck my head under there yet. Figured it was something more complicated. Where exactly should I be looking for these leaks? And what kind of error codes did you get? I'm seeing something vague about the air suspension system.

Yeah, definitely get under there and have a listen. I remember the leak being pretty obvious near one of the air struts. As for the error codes, honestly, I can't remember the exact numbers. It was a while ago, and I'm not exactly a mechanic. I ended up taking it to a shop, and they sorted it out. Maybe it's time to visit a professional?

Roger that. I was hoping to avoid the shop, but it sounds like I might be in over my head. Thanks for the tip about the air leaks, though. I'll give it a once-over. It was just a dodgy connector! Cable or plug connection of the component defective! 95€ later and it's all fixed!

Whoa, sounds familiar! I've got a C8 too, and I had similar symptoms last year. Vehicle can no longer lift, leaning, errors, the whole shebang. Did you check for air leaks around the struts? I remember hearing hissing before mine went completely belly-up. Could also be a malfunction with the compressor itself. Have you checked the error memory?
