Suspension fault
Hi Can anyone help or advise, I have a Citroen C5 Executive 2Ltr. HDI and whilst driving last night I had a suspension fault appear, on getting out of the car I noticed the suspension is very low, which made the car difficult to drive. The suspension is now not working at all any advice please ?

Re: Suspension fault
Did you have any warnings on the display? If so, what are the exact messages? Can you specify the year of your C5 please and I assume you mean an 'Exclusive' as there isn't an 'Executive' model?
Are / have there been any leaks where you keep the car overnight. Have you checked the level of LDS fluid in the reservoir - with the suspension on LOW setting, engine running, the level should be between the 2 lower visible marks of the tank neck (A & B):
Can you also describe in a bit more detail what is or is not happening? Will the car raise and lower or will it not rise past a certain level? Any and all info will help.

Re: Suspension fault
Are there any patches of oil on the ground under the car? Especially where the wheels are.
