Heavier Steering After New EPS Unit - brunozX520 - 11-21-2025 Hi everyone, I have a BMW F11 520d (2016) and recently I replaced the EPS motor/ECU (the electric power steering unit) with a used one. The replacement module was correctly VO-coded to my VIN and the car works without any errors. However, since the replacement, the steering feels slightly heavier than before. The car drives fine, but the steering assistance is clearly different from how it used to be. I think the EPS needs some adjustment of the assistance curve (Servotronic / Steering Assistance values), or maybe some adaptations need to be reset after installing the new motor. My questions: Is there a way to increase steering assistance (make the steering lighter) through FDL coding or EPS parameters? Which exact parameters should be modified in the EPS module to restore or increase the assistance level? Could the replacement EPS unit have a different steering mapping (e.g., from another model or configuration), and therefore require parameter adjustment? Any help, coding paths, or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
