How To Fix Your Power Steering Leaking, Whining , Grinding , Heavy Steering

[@stevehayes6661]

For the last 33 years I have been a mobile vehicle technician working on all makes. I have used and advised FORTÉ products with a great deal of success. It will not fix a component which has failed but it will protect parts and lubricate the system. I often put in a treatment with a new component to aid the bedding in process. Keep your expectations real and you will not be disappointed. Dean keep up the good work.

Would it work on leak through the rubber seal?

[@WickedKillaYT]

Incase anyone is coming to this video in the future, also if your power steering reservoir looks like that on the cap, replacing that reservoir and doing a flush which is simple and quick makes a world of a difference since the reservoir has a filter that gets old and causes the overflow. Just did it myself and 100% of the issues gone!

I just got a bmw and I’ve been watching your videos back to back and now car is running great thank you honestly 👍👍

[@Bane1Mirin]

You saved me a lot of money apparently this would have cost me 500 to fix at the mechanic I did this now the steering is smooth as butter thanks bro

[@nlmb.9099]

I literally got finnesed out of $500😭 at the mechanic everytime I turned the wheel it made a noise and all I had to do was this

[@danielvernier8390]

Did you drain the fluid before using the product?

[@SPower-yl9ww]

@nlmb.9099 how long after putting the leak stop, can I top up power steering oil?

[@drabun1959]

I used it on customer E38 that had stiff steering and know it's smoother not stiff. WOW what quick fix. Thanks Doc.

[@BMWDoctor]

yes mate this is what I mean I know many many many people that use these products with literally perfect results but this wont work on a complete knackered system to revive a dead pump like many think most will go buy this and continue to drive until they put this in and then blame the product when in actual fact its them who destroy it not the product

[@leandrenmoodley2892]

Hi,does your e38 have self leveling suspension?

[@ericsprout]

I’m surprised you didn’t suggest the replacement of the reservoir because they have a built in filter that ends up getting dirty and restricts flow over time and thats what causes the overflowing out of the cap.

[@redlobbster]

I thought overflow was normal excess foaming caused by heating of the fluid.

[@tammystewart10]

What is it I'm having this issue right now with overflowing steering wheel fluid with heavy steering but no noise so far. Fluid is 3/4 filled.

[@xavierrojas2243]

Not true I bought brand new reservoir OEM & it was leaking regardless

[@e38.e46]

Hi Doc, I was planning to use FORTE Power Steering Treatment from the video for my e38 750iL m73 engine but it also has self-levelling suspension, is it safe to do so? Also, should I first flush old oil, put new one then add this treatment? Thanks a lot for your videos, they are so helpful!

[@roland9637]

Finally a proper diy,keep them coming ...just done mine 2 weeks ago, the red fluid for mine though :)

[@Tumanic1996]

How is this a proper DIY he's just putting a product into the power steering reservoir...

[@tyroneevan7356]

Many thanks worked like a dream. Really appreciate your help with the video. My reservor was full put a little treatment in. Straight away steering has gone lighter, no noises. On my e90. Thank you very much. Saved me £££££s

[@jorgerea939]

Great video, very informational, 🙂

[@pires908]

This is a great tip, already my steering is a lot better and smoother on my E46

[@azdineelouarti9116]

Mine also is so hard do you recommend it and how i should use it

[@MikeTenHoven]

Interested in getting this in the US for my '07 E93.. How?

[@Tumanic1996]

Do you have to remove steering fluid to add the product or can you just add even if steering fluid is full ?

[@KillShotMarks]

Use a syringe to suck a bit out to make room for yor new fluid

[@loufaiella3354]

My '08 E60 has 90000miles. I changed the reservoir and refilled it with fresh fluid to avoid issues. The reservoir IS the filter!! the unit costs ~$20US.

[@tammystewart10]

Well that's a shocker the reservoir is the filter. I guess I'm just going to pump the old steering wheel fluid with a Turkey baster then clean up the reservoir as much as possible then refill new steering wheel fluid.

[@michaeleno3498]

Will this be used instead of replacing a bad power steering pump

[@tammystewart10]

Is steering pump the same as steering fluid reservoir?

[@faizi_notfound]

If your power steering reservoir looks like the one with the cap in the video, replacing it and giving it a quick flush can solve overflow problems caused by an old filter. I did this on my 152,000-mile-old car, and now it runs smoothly thanks to a reservoir from Euro Power Motorsports. It's a simple fix that made all the difference

[@stevehayes6661]

I have been in this trade working as a multi brand mobile technician for 33 years and I 100% recommend forté products I have never had an issue with them occasionally the car is too bad to help with a treatment. What Dean says is a bang on product.

[@enriqueymartha0408]

Hey hi Will this product apply in a 2012 x5 35i My power steering seems to have a leak

[@elliotdavis4641]

Hello mate, you recommended the Forte DPF Cleaner and Regenerator in another video, i got some last month really has made a difference the dpf has had a new lease of life as not had dpf taken out to be cleaned for around 2 years, this product helped with short trips in my 730d recent

[@BMWDoctor]

Your welcome friend as I said I KNOW this stuff works mate and now you seen it for yourself I don’t lie about what these products can do

[@juliansteenbergen9057]

Question, if the very end of my hoses connecting into the reservoir are leaking should I snip the ends and re-fasten them to prevent leaking or just replace it all together

[@TheVacFam]

Hey bro, thank you so much … going to try this on my e70 x5m

Maybe i’m to late for question and probably nobody will see but hope someone still answer. How to use correct way?

I think its leaking from the pump or rack, which sucks
