My steering failed me while i was driving last night. Thank god i was driving it slowly cos suddenly my steering wont able to turn which i made the final turn and message on idrive appeared, Charging Fault, High Temperature and drive moderately. Finally able to find to find a spot to stop my car and trying very hard to turn my steering which it is impossible. Really nightmare and luckily not much car in my neighbourhood. Looking down after stop the car, oil leaked out from bottom. Now wait for tow car to tow to mechanic. Really hope it will not be bad damage.
you lost your power steering(heavy steering),your alternator(charging fault) and your water pump(hi temp).
if you have an m54,all that i have mentioned is belt driven.check your serpentine belt.
if you have an n52,your crankshaft pulley,which is rubber impregnated for NVH,may have koyak ady as have experienced by a forummer....
gud lak...
