00 ... ... Raising vehicle with trolley jack
| IMPORTANT | Observe the following trolley-jack-related instructions |
Scheme 1
- Use only BMW-distributed/approved trolley jacks which have rubber plate contact points.
- Trolley jacks must be regularly serviced and always checked for functional reliability before they are used!
- Check the rubber plate on the trolley jack prior to each use, replacing if necessary.
| WARNING | The vehicle may be raised with a trolley jack only at the following jacking points! |

Bleeding power steering
| IMPORTANT | Adhere to the utmost cleanliness. Do not allow any dirt to enter the hydraulic system. Using contaminated equipment to add fluid may introduce dirt particles into the fluid reservoir and significantly reduce the service life of the power steering system. Do not use any filler funnels or similar! Use only Pentosin CHF11S from original containers! The fill level may only be checked or adjusted when the engine is stopped! The fluid temperature should be approx. 20 °C here. Ensure that the cap is fully screwed in prior to the fill level check. |
Note. To avoid mix-ups when filling with hydraulic fluid, mark the fluid reservoirs or their caps with identification marks.
CHF Pentosin CHF11S
Scheme 5
- Thoroughly clean fluid reservoir and its immediate surroundings
- Check and correct fill level NOTE: The fill level can come to rest above the "MAX" mark when the engine is at normal operating temperature.

With the engine at normal operating temperature (approx. 50-60 °C fluid temperature) adjust a fill height 15 mm above the "MAX" mark. Do not under any circumstances draw off the fluid to the "MAX" mark when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Hydraulic fluid: BMW Service Operating Fluids . See «INTEGRATED SUSPENSION SYSTEMS -- OPERATING FLUIDS»(/bmw/m6/e63e64-2005-2010/remont/electronic-suspension/#integrated-suspension-systems-operating-fluids) .
- Start engine
- Turn steering wheel left and right twice in each case up to full lock; if necessary, top up hydraulic fluid (e.g. if hydraulic system is completely drained)

37 90 ... Troubleshooting on Dynamic Drive (ARS)
| Fault | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Noises (banging, rattling) during straight-ahead driving and gentle steering through centre | Screw connections on front axle/rear axle loose | Refer to 31 90 ... FRONT AXLE TROUBLESHOOTING and 33 90 ... REAR AXLE TROUBLESHOOTING . |
| Stabilizer link loose or defective | Check stabilizer link joints for damage/play; if necessary, replace stabilizer link . See 35 STABILIZER BAR . Tighten down screw connections to torque. | |
| Stabilizer screw connection loose. Tighten down screw connections. | ||
| Hydraulic lines installed distorted | Check whether hydraulic lines are installed in holders twisted (when system is depressurized, hydraulic lines must be guided in holders virtually without elastic distortion of decoupling elements). Align all hydraulic lines for Dynamic Drive as specified in repair instruction | |
| Hydraulic lines fitted too closely or have insufficient clearance (elastic movement of line during pressure build-up) | Check whether hydraulic lines are fitted too closely or have insufficient clearance (for minimum clearance, see repair instruction ) Align all hydraulic lines for Dynamic Drive as specified in repair instruction | |
| Line holders loose | Check whether line holders are correctly screwed and holder halves are correctly engaged Fit all line holders as specified in repair instruction . | |
| Decoupling elements of hydraulic lines must not be damaged or missing | Check whether decoupling elements (rubber) are present and correctly fitted or damaged Replace/fit decoupling elements | |
| Decoupling elements of valve block holder damaged or missing | Check whether decoupling elements (rubber) are present and correctly fitted or damaged Replace valve block holder | |
| Line holders on hydraulic lines missing or fitted in incorrect position | Check whether line holders are present and fitted in correct position Fit line holders as specified in repair instruction | |
| Valve block does not conform to specifications | Carry out initial Dynamic Drive operation If other causes are ruled out or if diagnosis faults are detected, replace valve block | |
| Rattling noises during excitation provided by road surface and straight-ahead driving (without altering steering wheel position) and Noises occur to a large extent independently of temperature influences | Screw connections on front axle/rear axle loose | Refer to 31 90 ... FRONT AXLE TROUBLESHOOTING and 33 90 ... REAR AXLE TROUBLESHOOTING . |
| Stabilizer link loose/defective | Check stabilizer link joints for damage; if necessary, replace stabilizer link . See 35 STABILIZER BAR . Tighten down screw connections to torque | |
| Stabilizer screw connection loose | Tighten down screw connections | |
| Hydraulic lines installed distorted | Check whether hydraulic lines are installed in holders twisted (when system is depressurized, hydraulic lines must be guided in holders virtually without elastic distortion of decoupling elements) Align all hydraulic lines for Dynamic Drive as specified in repair instruction . | |
| Hydraulic lines fitted too closely or have insufficient clearance (elastic movement of line during pressure build-up) | Check whether hydraulic lines are fitted too closely or have insufficient clearance (for minimum clearance, see repair instruction) Align all hydraulic lines for Dynamic Drive as specified in repair instruction | |
| Line holders loose | Check whether line holders are correctly screwed and holder halves are correctly engaged Fit all line holders as specified in repair instruction | |
| Decoupling elements of hydraulic lines must not be damaged or missing | Check whether decoupling elements (rubber) are present and correctly fitted or damaged Replace or fit decoupling elements | |
| Decoupling elements of valve block holder damaged or missing | Check whether decoupling elements (rubber) are present and correctly fitted or damaged Replace valve block holder | |
| Line holders on hydraulic lines missing or fitted in incorrect position | Check whether line holders are present and fitted in correct position Fit all line holders as specified in repair instruction | |
| Protective rubber cap (black) not removed from Y-connecting piece of front axle active stabilizer pneumatic lines | Check whether protective rubber cap (black) is fitted on Y - connecting piece Pull protective rubber cap (black) off Y-piece and fit pneumatic line as specified in repair instruction | |
| Vent valve leaking | Check whether air filter element (black plastic) is filled to overflowing at end of vent line with Pentosin If other causes are ruled out and noise is reproducible during test drive, replace vent valves and air filter element in pairs | |
| Valve block does not conform to specifications | Carry out initial Dynamic Drive operation If other causes are ruled out or if diagnosis faults are detected, replace valve block | |
| Rattling noises during excitation provided by road surface and straight-ahead driving (without altering steering wheel position) and Noises only at higher temperatures (i.e. from outside temperatures from 25 °C or in event of greatly heated-up vehicle at operating temperature) | Vent valve defective | Check during test drive whether noises occur during straight-ahead driving and one-side excitation provided by road surface on front axle If other causes are ruled out and noise is reproducible during test drive, replace vent valves in pairs |
| Noises (hissing) | Flow noise of hydraulic fluid in damaged hydraulic lines | Check whether hydraulic lines are crushed or bent Rectify identified defects on hydraulic lines |
| Flow noise of hydraulic fluid in valve block not conforming to specifications | Carry out initial Dynamic Drive operation If a fault on valve block was diagnosed during initial operation, replace valve block | |
| Whining noises during cornering at an engine speed | Whining noises from pump drive | Check whether whining noises come from power steering pump or pump drive If not yet done, install noise-optimized belt pulley |
| Pump noise from engine compartment depending on engine speed or only during cornering | Dynamic Drive pressure line has impaired function or is damaged | Check whether Dynamic Drive pressure line between power steering pump and valve block is crushed or bent Replace Dynamic Drive pressure line |
| Power steering pump defective | Check whether power steering pump and pump drive are damaged If other causes are ruled out, replace power steering pump |
