Your impression of the noise is what my 2006 Nissan XTrail sounds like. It's good to know its a very simple problem. It's just started happening too. Thanks for the video.

Great video Nathan

[@siddek1]

So nice explained ,you are really professional ,🙏😊

[@DestinyR7]

Good call thinking someone might put the wrong fluid in,. It didn’t even cross my mind to think someone would be so careless to use transmission fluid accidentally over power steering but that could definitely happen! In the middle of trying to diagnose a squealing issue on a 2011 BMW 335i. All signs are pointing to a power steering leak but the fluid felt wrong. Hmm

[@chadriddle3517]

Good video Nathan ! I know both my e46’s power steering pumps broke at the shaft . You could still drive no problems just no power steering . I replaced with$60 amazon special an no problems since ...

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Chad Riddle the last e46 I had broke the pump shaft too

So close to 100K subs, invite some of your friends in on this. This really good content!

[@scratcherscratcher11]

Thanks Nathan!

[@jurzyjohner432]

Quick question, do you happen to know the maximum psi on a stock turbo for a 2011BMW 135i?

[@ricklane8554]

Interesting Nathan, btw, are you going to repaint the old white BMW? Seeing some rust shining through...

[@geemanbmw]

Oh and LOVE the E39 ❤

[@touringusa8760]

I have an 2000 E39 M62TU with an OEM LUK pump using CHF fluid with 121K miles that seems to be making clicking and screeching sound at idle. What is the service life expectancy of that power steering pump and would replacing it with a TRW rebuilt pump running AFT be compatible with the rest of the power steering system?

[@stevesas632]

Good video Nathan, just renewed my reservoir & fluid as I'm getting constant buzzing sound from my pump on my 1M. Anyway, didn't expect it to fix it, & sure enough it stills buzzes. Steering is fine, no other noises, just this annoying buzz from pump, which increases with revs. Looks like I'll need new pump, with only 25k on car :(

[@euro7145]

My man looks like it’s going to be your power steering pump! That’s what your problem is but regardless of what you did with replacing reservoir cause you would have ended up changing the reservoir & fluid and pump that’s the stupid thing Mercedes does certain things fail quite often :/ fkn horse shit

[@fox1110]

Nice video and garage 👌 What about low clicking noise?

[@willt718]

My e39 power steering stopped groaning after replacing the reservoir. I'm assuming the blockage was from crumbling rubber hoses

[@kovacsistvanhetfield]

I have the same issue since I have the car my guess was the pump but tomorrow Im gonna solve the little leak at the bottom and change the fluid. My car is a 523i from 96' I have high hopes. Ill come back and tell if it solve the noise. It have noise when you almost turn the wheel all the way. Thank you for the tip.

[@mounirbenamar4522]

Hi Nathan, thank you very much for your valuable videos. I have replaced the alternator on an E53, so I had to remove the steering pump, by mistake I drained some of the oil from the low pressure line. Before restarting, the pump started to do some noisy sound and I feel vibrations on the steering wheel. If you can advise, I will be more than happy to read you. Thanks

[@donovanmiller8992]

I've got a creaky sound directly behind my steering wheel after dropping and reassembling the steering rack post oil pan gasket fix on 335i

[@triballing]

I have a small Hyundai Atos. Grinding noises when I steer fully. Added ATF Fluid in the reservoir yet still same situation. Should it be a belt then? I will use a syringe I guess to make sure.

[@inspectorhenry2380]

Thank you!

[@prime6495minister]

what if the car has electric rack and pinion? my car makes this noise at warm days

[@sassyrav]

Notice how to steering reservoir is right above the alternator. It was the same on our 1997 Ford Falcon and it leaked onto the alternator. Not only did we have to replace the steering hose but the alternator died because of it.

[@ricardoandrade1027]

thank you man

[@MowerModdin]

If you are in the comments and wondering about BMWs, generally those with dynamic drive use the Pentosin CHF 11S (just like Nathan's E60 M5) and the cars that don't have dynamic drive will likely use ATF

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Mower Moddin 2006 and up uses chf11s

[@jimmy2times813]

My fathers kia cerato it makes sound when turning steering wheel left ,right while stationary, sound like TAAB TAAB? the power steering fluid below max ? is it bcuz of that ?

[@bilal6238]

so what do you suggest steering fluid for avalon 2000

[@TechTokOffical]

Don't know why I'm asking cuz u never respond. My e36 feels like the ps just stops sometimes and it get suddenly tight. The fluids have always been good and there's no noises coming from the system. I do have a bad clock spring but that wouldn't cause binding in the steering would it?

[@nathanfoxen]

Can you help me? I have a bmw x1 e84. It makes a whining sound which is very loud on cold start but gradually quiets down as you drive the car, but does not go silent. The whining sound corrsponds with the revvs of the car, so the higher i revv, the higher pitch it gets. Iv changed PS oil(atf) and resivoir, but it stil persists. My steering wheel is slighly heavy compared to other similar cars iv driven. PLEASE HELP

[@rgypsy6367]

Are you by any chance selling the e39?

[@mgeorgiev9987]

Hi,is it wrong if i put chf 11 in my 2003 e46?

[@Duckbait]

So I've had the noise on my car when steering aaalmost fully to the side, I topped off the oil and it still has the same sound, what could that be?

[@DjDestinyChicago]

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be with the speedometer not working in an E53? Rebuilt module, replaced sensor (rear left) with oem, I literally just finished changing the wheel bearing. Still no speedometer 🤷🏻‍♂️ it was working last week but reading double and putting double the miles on. Now it stopped completely

[@antifa86i35]

is that a 131 dacia in the backround ?

[@RLB841]

Hi Nathan. I live in Canada and I drive a (BMW Z4 2.5 2005) . Lately my steering wheel make a noise that keeps Intensyfiying. Please let me know what I should do first. Thank you. Romeo

[@DB6__]

I too hear a noise when turning the steering wheel. Not sure what it is. Have you figured it out yet?

[@geemanbmw]

Nice camera

[@markd3z]

Is there any substitute for the expensive CHF 11s , until i get my leak fixed??

[@kushanboteju573]

i would say any Atf would do

[@briantii]

I don’t think I’d use ATF. CHF11s is a fairly specialized fluid.

[@markd3z]

@@briantii I didn't take a chance on ruining my pump.... I replaced my leaking rack!

[@rubeng5150]

I have an 05 x5 3.0i with stiff steering at low speed or at stop any advice? the fluid is fine and no squealing from the pump.

[@kushanboteju573]

probably the pump is gone bad

[@kodas_face]

1:45 exactly the noise I’m experiencing since march

[@trandiba7899]

The fluid tank like my corsa swing tank

[@cars3939i]

Conversion from 2.0d to 3.0d diesel bmw e83 x3 what has to be changed for this swap

[@veganwally]

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

[@veganwally]

Thank you, Wally

[@leosurname6993]

My 1998 Cherokee goes WHEEE E E E E E E When I'm pulling out of the driveway and when I'm parking lol

[@davehibbs9111]

My 10 Toyota Corolla s makes a hissing noise turning left

[@asmircar1]

99% of time nobody changes fluids and all pumps and engines fail :) thats why when u buy car u change all fluids and filters and hope for the best....

[@kayrams1792]

My conclusion is that German engineering produces scrap metal overpriced, overhyped, overrated and over exaggerated then called them performance cars. German engineering is not reliable at all. Like it at your expense but there will no joy for you after the car reaches 100k to 150k miles on the odometer. Most of the engine parts are plastic made, some parts are a mixed of cheap metals like chrome or vanadium mixed with aluminum. There risks of engine overheating is higher than in other car brands. Power steering pump always fails. ECU often has issues. This a hole in the owners pocket called everlasting maintenance. The engine is fitted and mounted in a 45% angle to leak oil. The only aspect I can add value in is that they make great solid bodies, strong beautiful interior design coupled with a marvelous balance suspension and transmission. Their engine is design are Sh*t
