Captur air suspension failure

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2016 Renault Captur diesel. The air suspension seems to have failed. The car won't lift, it's leaning, and I'm getting error messages. The headlights are also pointing too low. I've checked for air leaks, but haven't found anything. The error memory mentions a defective cable or plug. Any ideas?

Hey, I had a similar issue with my Captur. Same symptoms – leaning, error messages, the whole shebang. Did you check the compressor itself? Mine turned out to be the culprit. Have you noticed any unusual noises coming from that area before this started happening?

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't specifically checked the compressor for noises, no. Where is the compressor located, and is there a way to test it before I assume it's completely dead?

On mine, the compressor was near the rear axle. Honestly, I didn't bother testing it myself. Given the symptoms and the error code you mentioned, plus my own experience, I just took it to a workshop. Saved me a lot of hassle. Could be worth a shot.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to the workshop, and you were right – it was a defective cable, which they fixed. Cost me 95€, which is a lot better than a new compressor! Thanks again!
