Had a bit of a rough encounter with one of those sneaky potholes on the way to Al Maryah Island last week and ever since then my 2019 DB11 has been flashing a "suspension fault" warning on the dash intermittently usually when I'm going over uneven surfaces at low speed and while the car doesn't feel any different and the ride height seems normal it's just annoying enough to make me not want to push the car hard until someone with the right diagnostic equipment takes a proper look at it. I'm not about to take it to the main dealer and hand over what feels like a down payment on a small apartment just to plug in a laptop and tell me a sensor got jostled loose so I've been asking around the local Abu Dhabi car scene trying to find a shop that has the actual Aston Martin specific software and knows the difference between a damper module fault and a simple ride height sensor calibration issue. A couple of guys in a UAE owners WhatsApp group mentioned they've been using a place for premium aston martin repair solutions abu dhabi that apparently has a tech who worked on these cars back in the UK and actually understands the foibles of the Mercedes derived electronics without just throwing parts at the problem and hoping something sticks which is exactly the kind of reassuring competence I need right now. Has anyone here had a similar phantom fault on their DB11 and did it turn out to be something stupid like a sensor connector that needed a clean or is this the start of one of those multi month sagas where the car and my bank account engage in a slow war of attrition?
