Skoda Superb air suspension issue

My 2010 Skoda Superb diesel is giving me grief. The car won't lift anymore, and it's leaning to one side. I'm getting an error message on the speedometer, and the ride is incredibly bumpy. There's also an error stored in the memory. I'm suspecting it's a faulty air suspension bellows valve, but wanted to get a second opinion before I start tearing things apart. Any ideas?

Sounds like a suspension failure to me. I had something similar happen with my Superb. The car was leaning to one side, and the ride was super bumpy. Is the error message related to the air suspension? Do you have air spring or just regular shock absorber?

Yes, the error message says something about 'air suspension system failure'. When yours failed, was it a sudden thing, or did it gradually get worse? And how did you figure out it was the valve?

Yeah, it was pretty sudden for me. One day it was fine, the next, the car was noticeably lower on one side. I didn't figure out it was the valve myself; I took it to a workshop. They diagnosed it pretty quickly. If you have the same symptoms, I'd bet it's the valve. Probably best to get it checked properly rather than guessing.

Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed the air suspension bellows valve that was faulty. Cost me around 590€ to get it sorted. Thanks a bunch for your help!
