Fluence leaning and bumpy ride

Hi, I'm having a nightmare with my 2016 Renault Fluence (gasoline engine). It's got 230607 km on the clock. Recently, the car has started leaning, and I'm getting a suspension system error on the speedometer. It feels super bumpy, like I'm driving a tractor! I suspect it might be the air suspension, as the car isn't lifting properly anymore. There's even an error stored in diagnostics, pointing to the suspension. I'm guessing it is a faulty air suspension bellows valve. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I've been quoted around 590€.

I also drive a Renault Fluence and had similar issues with the pneumatic suspension. The ride height became uneven, and the shock absorber performance was severely impacted.

Thanks for the reply! Was it definitely the air suspension bellows valve that was causing the problem? And did you notice any other symptoms beforehand?

Yes, it was the air bag valve on mine. If the car can no longer lift, and you have stored error codes and a message on the speedometer, I would suggest that you visit a workshop.

Thanks a lot for confirming! I suspected as much. I'll book it into the workshop to get the suspension air bag valve replaced and let them sort it out. Hopefully, that'll fix the bumpy ride and the leaning issue!
