Opel Ampera 2016: Experience and advice on repairing irregular ride height and suspension

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2013 Opel Insignia. The symptoms are similar to what you described. I was also pretty sure that the air suspension compressor was broken. When I took it to the garage, they actually had to replace the entire compressor. The problem was quite serious as both handling and comfort were severely affected. It wasn't just a minor fault that could be ignored. The repair took a few days, they had to order the parts and then spend a whole day replacing them. Although this sounds like a big deal, it ended up being a necessary repair. The quicker you get it fixed, the better it is for the car and your own safety. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Sounds like a task that shouldn't be taken lightly. Would you happen to have any idea how much the whole thing cost you and whether there were any further complications afterwards? All in all, I can say that your answer really helped me.

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for. Once the matter with the mechanic had been resolved, the defect in the air suspension compressor was completely repaired. I had to fork out €590 to fix the faulty air bellows on the suspension, but it was worth it. Since then, there have been no further complications and the car drives as normal again. So I would advise you not to hesitate and to accept the necessary repair costs. In the end, it's about your safety and that of your car!

Wow, that sounds like a pretty expensive repair, but like you said, safety is the most important thing. Thanks for your honest assessment and advice. That really helps. I will now get my Ampera to the garage as soon as possible before any further damage occurs. Then I hope everything goes as smoothly as it did for you. Many thanks again!
