Description

Felendo air suspension solenoid valve block for Porsche Panamera (971), Porsche Taycan (9J1), Audi e-tron GT, and Bentley Continental (MSB Platform)

Product Name: 971616056 Air Suspension Solenoid Valve Block

Overview

The 971616056 is a critical air suspension solenoid valve block designed for a range of premium Volkswagen Group vehicles, including the Porsche Panamera (971), Porsche Taycan (9J1), Audi e-tron GT, and Bentley Continental (MSB Platform) . As the central hub of the electronic air suspension system, this component is responsible for distributing compressed air from the air compressor to the individual air struts or air springs . By precisely controlling the airflow based on commands from the vehicle’s ECU, it maintains the correct ride height, ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, and automatically levels the vehicle based on load and driving conditions .

This part is a direct replacement for the original equipment (OE) component and is available from various manufacturers, including the renowned aftermarket brand Arnott (VB-4337) .

Common Failure Symptoms

Over time, the O-rings inside the valve block can dry rot and leak air . A faulty valve block can cause several issues:

• Vehicle Sagging: One or more corners of the vehicle sit noticeably lower.

• Noisy or Overworking Compressor: The compressor runs constantly or makes loud noises due to air leaks, which can lead to premature failure .

• Suspension Warning Lights: Error codes related to the air suspension system appear on the dashboard.

• Poor Ride Quality: The vehicle may feel unstable, bouncy, or harsh .
