Try Google for the procedure to reset your service indicator using your BC button and ignition.

Quick Question i see i have a button ASC whats it for :thinking: i know im asking very basic noob Questions :hammerhead:

Oil at midas

Filters from BMW

Plugs from bosch or BMW.. i got prices for plugs:

goldwagen: R5 per plug cheaper than BMW
Diesel Electric (Bosch): R2 cheaper than BMW

Got them from Bosch as I was there already otherwise it would have been cheaper to get them from the dealer as its much closer


For Radiator... get some radiator flush.. put it in.. run car for 15 minutes.. let car cool.. remove lower hose & drain.. Remove top hose & insert garden hose & turn on and run fresh water through..

then fill up again.. & run car for 15 minutes

then drain

repeat a few times..

Then fill up with 50/50 water anti freeze mixture

then bleed system (search for a how to)

---

OH Ya forgot the heater on full step!!!

---

Just be sure to bleed the water system every time

When the raer wheels loose traction the ASC cuts in to cut the speed to the wheel that is spinning.

A Yellow warning light will appear on the dash when this is happening

ASC stands for Automatic Stabillity Control
DSC stands for Dynamic Stabillity Control

Read your Manual:hammerhead:

Actually ASC stands for Anti Skid Control. It just cuts power when one of the back wheels starts slipping. It does not cut the speed to the wheels since it can't. ASC is basically useless if you ask me.

Ask me as well. I ended up facing the wrong direction in the road after taking a corner... ASC did nothing..
