[QUOTE="GMENG, post: 585249, member: 2371"] I encountered some issue with heat at the leg area underneath the steering wheel when driving my E60 523i. Initially have no idea whr the heat came from but it could be very hot especially if driving outstation. I have to redirect the aircon at full blast at my leg area. When I sent my car for alignment, balancing and also front brake pad change, I took that opportunity to ask the mechanic there to have a look at the heat problem. They found out that the heat was generated by the flap which can't be opened or closed due to servo motor issue. They said it'd take 2-3 days to diagnose this problem as they have to open up a lot of panels underneath the steering wheel. I was told there are also a number (5-6) of servo motors there. They'd only know which servo motor was the issue after they have opened up. Would appreciate your comments or inputs if you have encountered similar problems before and how you have solved them. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
