Suspension fault

Unread post by Susannixon61 »

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 ?

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.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

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