Interesting! When you say 'connections to the shock absorber units', are you referring to the electrical plugs? And how did you end up resolving the issue?

Yes, I meant the electrical plugs. In my case, it turned out to be a corroded connector on one of the front shock absorbers. Initially, I tried cleaning the connector myself, but the error kept returning. Eventually, I took it to a workshop, and they replaced the connector. It resolved the issue completely. Given that you suspect a cable or plug connection, it might be worth checking those first, but if you are not comfortable doing so, I would recommend a workshop visit before the issue affects the vehicle suspension.

I greatly appreciate your help. I went to the workshop, and you were right, it was just a defective plug connection, exactly what I suspected. They fixed it for 95€, and the car damping is back to normal. The warning light is also gone. Thanks again for your advice!

That sounds frustrating! I had a somewhat similar issue with my Mini Cooper related to vehicle suspension. While my symptoms were slightly different, I also experienced a bumpy ride and saw errors related to the car damping system. Have you checked the connections to the shock absorber units? Sometimes, a loose or corroded connection can cause these kinds of intermittent faults. It is possible the problem is within the suspension tuning system.
