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&#8217;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:
<ul>
<li>
Vehicle Sagging: One or more corners of the vehicle sit noticeably lower.
</li>
<li>
Noisy or Overworking Compressor: The compressor runs constantly or makes loud noises due to air leaks, which can lead to premature failure .
</li>
<li>
Suspension Warning Lights: Error codes related to the air suspension system appear on the dashboard.
</li>
<li>
Poor Ride Quality: The vehicle may feel unstable, bouncy, or harsh .
</li>
</ul>

Important Installation Notes
<ul>
<li>
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and system function.
</li>
<li>
After installation, the air suspension system must be charged with CO2 or nitrogen and recalibrated using diagnostic equipment .
</li>
<li>
The system pressure must be 17 bar as output pressure after replacing the valve block .
</li>
<li>
It is crucial to ensure the system is absolutely leak-proof after repair; any leak can compromise the function of components like the suspension compressor.
</li>
</ul>
