Skoda Roomster Air Suspension Problem

I am desperate! My 2008 Skoda Roomster with a diesel engine has developed a serious problem. The car won't lift anymore, it's leaning to one side, the speedometer shows an error message, and the ride is incredibly bumpy. The error memory indicates a problem with the air suspension. Could this be a faulty air suspension bellows valve, as I suspect? My Roomster only has 60991 km on it.

I have a Skoda Octavia, and I had similar symptoms a while back. The car was leaning to one side, and the ride was terribly bumpy. Have you checked the air springs? They might be the culprit.

Air springs? I am not very familiar with that. Are air springs part of the air suspension system? And how can I check them myself?

Yes, the air springs also called air bags are a crucial component of the air suspension. They essentially replace the traditional coil springs, using pressurized air to maintain ride height and provide a smoother ride. If the bellows valve that controls the air flow to the spring is defective, it can cause all sorts of issues. I would suggest visiting a workshop; they will be able to properly diagnose and fix the problem.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I took my Roomster to a workshop, and they confirmed it was indeed the air suspension bellows valve. The repair cost is estimated at 590€. Hopefully, this will resolve the issue!
