Everest Air Suspension Failure

Having trouble with my 2020 Ford Everest, diesel engine, around 68k km. The air suspension seems dead. It won't lift, it's leaning, error message on the speedometer, and the ride is bumpy. Error memory mentions the suspension. Could it be a faulty air suspension bellows valve? Anyone experienced this?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my old Audi A6. Air suspension problems, eh? Was the car sitting lower than usual on one side? I'm guessing it's probably an air leak somewhere. Have you checked for hissing around the air springs or compressor?

Thanks for the reply. I haven't checked for hissing specifically, but I will now. Was it definitely the air suspension bellows valve in your case then?

I can't say for sure about the valve, but the workshop guys told me the air suspension bag itself was leaking on my A6, leading to similar symptoms. Error messages, leaning. Best bet is to get it to a shop, as dealing with the pneumatic suspension yourself can be tricky and needs specific tools to ensure the air suspension system is working correctly after the repair.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to the mechanic, and they confirmed it was a faulty air suspension bellows valve. Cost me around 590€ to get it fixed. Now it's riding smooth again.
