Mine's showing no codes but misses when going right over a roundabout and traction control light comes on.
Turn it off and it runs great, the other day ABS light and flat tyre light came on, opened the boot give it a good push up and down and it's been fine since but still have the issue with the traction kicking in even when going slow. Garage said today that it's probably the ABS pump. £200 for the part, a lot for just probably. Anybody had this happen where the traction kicks in? |

Had this exact same problem.
If you can engage and disengage the TC/DTC then its not the pump AFAIK. Turns out my driveshaft was starting to wear/corrode and hit the ABS sensor causing the traction control to kick in at strange times. |

Thanks for the reply...Interesting!
Did you get a new driveshaft and the problem was sorted? |

How freeky is this,
Just had some new wheels fitted on mine and the same fault came up on my dash. They didn't have a reader handy at the garage (being fixed or something) so I took the car and drove it home gently. Plugged in my fault code reader and it came up with "front right speed sensor". Going to pick one of them up tomorrow and get it sorted. £42 from Euro.Blah.Blah.Blah |

Today the car wouldn't start, cranking slowly then a icon came up, looked in the manual and it's active steering defective, wondering if this was a safety feature of the car that was not letting me drive it?
Indy garage picking it up tomorrow and plugging it in... £200 before it's touched Anyone else had this? |

Would the battery cause all these issues? Had the T/C going haywire, had to turn it off to stop it playing up plus lots of ABS, flat tyre brake lights on the dash now and again. Battery is the original, 8 years old. Will post results as always |

Took it back to the garage and they will look at it next week, they say it might be the driveshaft rubbing on the sensor like what you had They have said that both driveshaft's will have to be replaced along with the sensor...£1500. Did you have that done or how did you get round it? |

Yes I got both done and a sensor. the passenger side was worst but the driver side was starting to go as well.
My mechanic priced the drive shafts from bmw at £440 + vat plus a sensor for £90 + vat i think. So thats probably closer to your £1500 including labour. He sourced me new oem driveshafts for £150 + vat with a years warranty on them. He did the 2 driveshafts plus a new sensor for just over £500. |

Sorry to raise this again. I am about to send off my unit to ECU testing. Once returned an refitted what is the best way to bleed it. Obviously theres the dealer at cost, but other methods ive heard include driving it then activating the ABS with hard braking. Another is shorting 2 pins under the acs fuse to engage the pump. Any opinions or advice are much appreciated.

Guys, this plague has now struck me
I have three warnings showing on iDrive: - Driving Stability - DBC Failure - Start assistance inactive I have read this thread through. I'm loathe to take this to my main dealer as in the worst case, e.g. hydro pump, I will no doubt take a massive wallet hit which I can ill afford. From what I've read I need to get to the fault codes behind the warnings to know the extent of the issue. What would you guys recommend - take to a local BMW indie (anyone recommend a good one in Berkshire), or some other route? My dealer would probably hit me with a £120 diagnostic charge just to look at the codes.
