Yeah, it is leaning to one side! Hissing, you say? Where exactly should I be listening for that? What do you mean with air springs?

Okay, so the air springs, or airbags, are like inflatable cylinders that replace traditional springs in your suspension. If you hear hissing near them, especially when the car is trying to level itself, it probably means you have an air leak, most likely at the bellows valve. If you have an error stored it points to suspension failure. Honestly, it might be best to get it checked by a professional. Messing with air suspension can be tricky.

Big thanks for the input! I bit the bullet and took it to the shop. Turns out it was the air suspension bellows valve, just like you suspected. Cost me around 590€ to get it fixed. Now she's riding smooth again!

Whoa, sounds rough! I had a similar suspension issue with my old Audi A6. The air suspension gave me fits. Is the car sitting noticeably lower on one side? It could be an air leak in the system. Have you checked for any hissing sounds around the air springs?
