[QUOTE="superphuc, post: 709310, member: 5676"] hunter, Many thanks for sharing your experience and 'potential solution'. I have been having the same problem with my 2004 525i with the active steering warning messages, but it usually clears off and the AS usually 'activates' after driving in a straight line for a few hundred metres. I have been living with it for more than 2 years now, since a few BMW Workshop Specialist' were not able to rectify the problem. Your post is interesting and could not come at a better time since I just changed my battery a few days ago to the one same as yours: Bosch S5 DIN100. I am just wondering from your experience at the authorised dealer (which I assume starts with an "I"), if you could elaborate: [LIST=1][*]Since your post, are you still having the AS warnings, or is it totally gone? [*]How would a diesel E60 have different AS components that "normally last longer than its petrol cousin"? [*]How does the AS failure or warnings relate with battery, or with changing to original BMW battery? [*]Did the 'authorised dealer' do anything to your car prior to suggesting you to drive to Malacca and back? [*]What is the reason for them to suggest the long distance drive, and how is it related to the AS? Also, is there anything specific they asked you to do, e.g. maintain certain speed? [*]How long did you leave your car and how much did they charge you? [/LIST] Your reply would be greatly appreciated, and I wouldn't mind driving to JB if it could fix my AS problem! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
