Steering angle sensor replacement on 2000 323i
I have 2000 BMW 323i on which the ASC light was always amber (this car had a water damage 3-4 years ago and the whole electronics had been replaced by the previous owner). I want it to work properly and the amber light to go away.
So I took it to BMW dealership for the diagnostics and it showed up that the steering angle sensor is defective. They recommend a replacement. It was quoted about $350 for part + about $350 labor (which is not a final due to the sensor coding and potential car software upgrade issues). Can I do it at any mechanic shop + the electrician who has the BMW computer or it has to be the BMW dealership due to coding issues? I bought already a used sensor from the local junk yard for $100. Now trying to find out everything important related to the replacement, any hints on calibration coding etc... Much appreciated. |

Fit the sensor yourself then take it to dealer to get it calibrated.
Should not be more than 45 min labour. Iain |
