E9x M3 Power Steering Fluid Service DIY (Return Line Bleeding)[ENG SUB]

The method used in this video for servicing power steering fluid is bleeding at the return line hose of the power steering hydraulic system. Raising the front wheels can make the work easier when turning the steering wheel. Starting the engine is not required so this method is safer. The return line hose on the power steering fluid reservoir has to be disconnected. Return fluid will be bled and collected with a catch container or suction tool. The return port on the reservoir has to be plugged to maintain fluid level. Turning the steering wheel will pump out the remaining fluid in the system. Add in new fluid while bleeding the old fluid. Avoid air getting into the system. Also avoid over-filling the reservoir.

Love your videos, did yours to replace spark plugs, cabin air filter, and engine intake filter. Hoping you do ones for break pads soon. Looking to get ceramic pads for less dust!

Hi Jovan thank you very much for the comments! I am thinking to do the complete brake service at 15k km maintenance. The pad wear sensors and brake fluid lines will also be replaced. I will make a video for you 😉

[@javiermartinez5166]

Always good videos !! From Spain, I’ve got a M3 e93. I’ll use your video about changing spark plugs soon !

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Javier, thank you very much for your like! I'm happy it's useful to you. Best wishes to your DIY work!🤗

Do you add any additives like for example Liqui Moly Leak Sealant 35ml

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Kevin I have never added any oil additives. I do have an obvious oil consumption, around 1 qt per 2000 km. I am planning to do the valve stem seal replacement soon and I hope this will give improvement. Do you have any recommendations?

[@gabby811ify]

@@funcarsgoodpeople I’ve wanted to add a good review additive for power steering but I haven’t seen any good video personal reviews

How would you do this DIY if you replace the resovour

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Kevin, I read that the reservoir has a built-in filter in it so it is good to replace it if contamination is found in the power steering system. I would replace the reservoir first to have the clean filter and do the rest as I mentioned in the video; 1. Remove the fluid in the reservoir. 2. Disconnect both return line and suction line. 3. Replace the reservoir. 4. Connect the suction line. 5. Do the return line bleeding method. Let me know what you think! Thank you for the comments!

Do you have in mind to install rear LCI taillights. I imagine that you’ll need to change the trunk… Is this a temporary car or you want to have it for more years ?

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Javier, I agree that the pre-LCI tail lights are not so cool but they do look unique for me🤗 Instead of the LCI lights, I chose the Sport Line tail lights, as you can see in other videos, to make it look better and remain 100% OE. Changing the trunk lid is too much for me 😅 But when I have to, I will choose carbon fiber trunk 🤣 I bought this M3 mainly because I wanted a V8 with manual transmission. It is such a balanced car to drive for fun and use daily. Furthermore, I found the maintenance and repair is not that difficult after all this DIY works. I understand this M3, I love it and I want to do more DIY work on it to make it perfect 🥹 I will have it for more years 🥰

Are your day-time running lights stock? And is the car on when you turn the steering wheel?

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Rosendo, yes the head lights are stock. I did not code them but I use to manually switch all lights on when the car is moving. If I am right, they do not come on automatically during the day 😅 The car is off when I turned the steering wheel. Is ready with the tires lifted off the ground. Please try it! 🤗
