2008 C5 Suspension Fault

Post by hdi_man »

got a puncture repaired and now the car is flashing "Suspension Fault, max speed 55mph". The suspension will no longer raise or lower the car.

booked into dealers as still under warranty, anyone else seen this ????

I think that this is related to jacking up the car without first raising the suspension to full height.
Perhaps the tyre repairer wasn't aware of this requirement.

Try doing a protracted set of Citroebics and see if that clears the fault.

have you not asked why the rack and pump are creating the fault?

Sometimes the solution has little to do with the problem. Sensors maybe?
