column

Hi, I’ve had the yellow and red padlock for the ELV issues but had the car looked at before it disabled. The car starts and drives fine but the steering lock doesn’t engage and although the counters have been reset the diagnostics gear showed a faulty module and would not clear the padlocks...

Z3 under steering column cowl removal Hi folks I need to get access to the elusive fuse #48 which is under the steering column. In order to remove the cowl, do I need a special tool to remove the grommets or is it just a case of carefully prising them off? thanks PenzancePirate

Noticed the other day that the colun wasn't adjusting when I got in / out of the car. The seat electrics are all working fine but there's no response to switch movement. There was no noise / indication that there was a problem brewing before it stopped. I hadn't realised it had stopped...

Hi, I have a noise coming from the steering column that sounds like a nut rolling about so was hoping to removed the outer to look in side. Does anyone know how to removed the steering column plastic outer? Thank F30.

Dear all, I recently heard a strange clacking sound when using the brakes and when steering around a curve on the road. It's the sort of sound you get when you have two pieces of metal rubbing tightly against each other when they do eventually slip. Anyway, I took it to the garage they seem...

Has anyone noticed that the steering column on a RHD car point slightly toward the drivers window? (Not tilted as in an alignment issue) It's annoying me now. Car has never had a front end smack fwiw. I just feel like I have to lean slightly into the door card to face the steering wheel straight...

hi guys, another problem :hihi what could be causing this noise?

Hi, just trying to sort annoying knocking sound i get from my 330 coupe when going at slow speeds on rough surfaces. Finally took a proper look underneath today and we think its the lower u j joint on the steering column, known as the knuckle joint? Pricey for a new one, might take a gamble on...

hi my e46 as been suffering with steering problems for a while now. I replaced rack and joints few years ago and the problem has been slowly getting worse. today I put the car on the ramp and decided to remove all the steering components and check through as I am giving it a major service...

Hey everyone, so my 530 is making like a pigeon cooing type noise when turning and did a bit of research and found that it's the bearing in the steering column, I was just wondering what type of grease/lube is best to use? Thanks in advance

Firstly, please excuse my lack of knowledge on this and probable incorrect terminology. My Steering Column Switch - the one which has a button labelled "BC" on the end is (according to my local BMW garage) faulty. When I start the engine, it cycles through the various control check menus...

I've been doing a rolling resto on an E46 328ci I bought six weeks ago with split rear subframe mounts, and have got it back on the road after getting the suspension set up this weekend. As expected, everything needed adjustment as I had the entire rear suspension apart, and the front to replace...
