Expert Air Suspension Problem

Hi, I've got a 2011 Peugeot Expert with a gasoline engine, and I'm experiencing some issues with what I suspect is the air suspension. The van 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 shows an error. Has anyone experienced this before?

Sounds like a suspension issue, specifically with the air suspension. Given the symptoms – vehicle won't lift, leaning, error message, and bumpy ride – it strongly suggests a problem with one of the air spring bellows valves. Has the error message been the same or changing?

Thanks for the quick reply! The error message has been consistent. If it is the bellows valve, is it a straightforward replacement, or is there more to it than that?

Given the consistent error message, it's highly probable that the bellows valve is defective. While a replacement seems simple, the air suspension system can be complex. You need to depressurize the system properly before replacement, and it's better to have it properly diagnosed in a workshop to avoid any other issues.

Appreciate the advice! Took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. Turns out the suspension air bag valve was faulty. Cost me 590€, but at least it's sorted.
