Seat Arona air suspension problem

My 2020 Seat Arona with a diesel engine is giving me grief. The air suspension seems to have completely failed. It won't lift anymore, the vehicle is leaning to one side, and I'm getting an error message on the dash. The ride is incredibly bumpy now. My understanding is it may be a faulty bellows valve in the suspension system. It has 180378 km on the clock. Any ideas?

Sounds like the air suspension issue I had with my old Citroen C4 Picasso! Used to get that leaning and the ride was awful. Did you check the air lines for any leaks? Sometimes it's not the bag itself, but the connection.

I didn't check the air lines, to be honest. Where exactly are they located? Is it an easy thing to check myself, or am I better off just taking it to a mechanic?

Yeah, similar symptoms to what I experienced. Unless you're really comfortable tinkering with the suspension system, I'd recommend getting a professional to take a look. They'll be able to pinpoint the exact cause and replace the air spring. Don't want the suspension failure to get any worse.

Just wanted to say thanks for the input. Took it to the workshop, and they confirmed it was the bellows valve on the air spring. Cost me 590€, but at least it's sorted. Appreciate the help!
