Uneven ride height and excessive springiness in Seat Leon 2013: advice needed on ride height control

Uneven Ride Height

Excessive Bouncing

Hello community, I have a small problem with my 2013 Seat Leon, gasoline engine and about 119200 km on the clock. I've noticed that the ride height of the car is uneven and it's also overly bouncy. Had a similar problem in the past and think it has something to do with the ride height control function again. Do any of you have experience with this kind of problem and could possibly give me a tip on how to approach my mechanic? Didn't have a good experience last time unfortunately. Thank you!

Hey, had a similar problem with my 2010 Seat Ibiza last week. I also noticed that my car had too much suspension and was uneven in height. I went straight to the garage and they found that my shock absorbers were broken. This meant I had to replace all four of them. That was definitely a serious problem, because the belts are a pretty critical component. If I were you, I would go straight to your mechanic and tell him exactly what the problem is. I don't know if it's the same with your Leon, but it sure sounds like it. Alex

Hey Alex, thanks for your quick reply! It's good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem. I'll take your advice and explain it to my mechanic in the same way. Do you remember how much you had to pay to repair all four shock absorbers? And has anything else happened since then or is everything running smoothly again? Thanks again!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! I spent quite a bit on repairing my shock absorbers, I almost felt like I'd been beaten up when I saw the bill. But luckily it's all sorted now. Since I've been to the mechanic, everything has been going great again. I was also lucky that the fault in the height control could be repaired. I had to pay around €110 because the control rod on the sensor was defective. Fortunately, I don't have any more problems now. Hope the visit to your mechanic goes well too! Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Hey Alex, oh man, that really is a lot of money. I hope it will be a bit cheaper for me. But I'm reassured to know that everything is working as it should again. I'll probably go to the mechanic after all and then I'll be happy to tell you here how it went. I hope that everything goes smoothly. Many, many thanks for your help and support, Alex! See you then!

Good day! It sounds like to me it might be a suspension issue. Have you checked the shocks or struts yet? Sometimes uneven ride height can be related to those. What did your mechanic say last time?

It's definitely a good idea to have your suspension system checked, especially the shock absorbers and struts. If they're worn out, they can cause the car to bounce excessively and affect the ride height. However, don't forget to also check the springs, as they can sag over time and cause uneven ride height. It's best to have a professional mechanic inspect these components to ensure your safety on the road.
