Thanks. I've looked at the bellows valve, but I'm not sure what to look for. What kind of damage or leakage should I be searching for?

When mine went, there were visible cracks, and it looked perished, like old rubber. Listen closely around each air spring when the compressor is running; you might hear a hissing sound, indicating an air leak. Diagnosing air suspension can be tricky without proper equipment. Given the error codes and leaning, it sounds like a defective suspension air bag valve. The repair cost an arm and a leg. I’d suggest getting it checked by a workshop before things get worse, especially if you don't have experience with pneumatic suspension.

I appreciate the advice. I'll take it to a local workshop for inspection. Hopefully, the repair cost won't be too excessive. Thanks again; this has been very helpful.

Sounds familiar! My old Audi A6 had similar symptoms – bumpy ride, leaning, error messages. Turned out to be a problem with the pneumatic suspension, specifically a leak in one of the air bags. Have you checked the bellows valve for visible damage or leakage? Is the compressor running constantly to compensate?
