Seat Ateca air suspension issue
Summary of the thread
A Seat Ateca owner reported a suspension malfunction where the vehicle could no longer lift, resulting in a noticeable lean and a constant error message. The suspected cause was a defective cable or plug connection. It was suggested that this issue could be diagnosed and fixed relatively easily with the right equipment. The owner later confirmed that the problem was indeed a defective cable connection, and the repair cost was as initially estimated.

The error message is constant, and it doesn't seem to be affected by the load. Do you think the defective cable connection is something that can be diagnosed and fixed relatively easily?

Okay, a constant error message rules out some intermittent issues. A defective cable connection is a common cause for air suspension problems, especially with load leveling systems. It should be relatively easy to diagnose with the right equipment, but you'll likely need to go to a workshop for them to check the suspension system and air struts properly.

I wanted to report back about the suspension issue with my Ateca. It was indeed a defective cable connection, just as I suspected. The repair cost was 95€, as I initially estimated. Thanks for the help in figuring this out.

That sounds frustrating! Leaning is never a good sign. Is the error message always there, or does it come and go? Does it happen more when the car is loaded or unloaded?
