Hello. So if there is low pressure in the power steering pump and the steering is slightly hard, does the power steering pump needs replacement ?

[@Sals_Garage]

Possibly.

[@fkaaw]

Hey Sal, I just picked up a 2011 M3 and it has similar issues like hard steering at low speeds but once a little bit of gas is given it is fine. Should I start with just fluid or go straight to replacing the pump?

[@Sals_Garage]

Start with fluid, then pump, then steering rack. My issue was only heavy steering during quick turns at any speed.

Did you find out?????

Hi how are u ? Hope you’re considering a return to the e9x field lol .. was following along with your video and I also discovered I have a coolant leak in the same hose you did… would you be able to point me in the direction to get that o ring please ? And would you have any do’s and don’t’s for swapping out that o ring ? Thanks man again .. definitely miss your e9x content 🫤

[@Sals_Garage]

@@laykawest8674 hi! Yes looking for a third car and the e9x is definitely on the list. As far as the O-ring are you talking about the crush washer? Can’t remember which hose has an o ring in the power steering system.

[@laykawest8674]

@@Sals_Garage your big coolant line had a leak from the o ring .. and you had dug out the o ring with a screw driver and replaced it .. I’m not sure what to search for to get that specific o ring .. and for the o ring I can just push it into place and it’s good ?

[@Sals_Garage]

@@laykawest8674 I don’t think I took out any coolant hoses in this video, but normally I use universal o rings so something like this should work for you amzn.to/4eMYJ9t

[@laykawest8674]

@@Sals_Garageahh it must have been one of the 2 associated with this then .. the belts or broken fan video .. but ok thanks man i definitely appreciate you once again ..your videos are the only videos on KZbin of certain jobs on the e9x .. thanks man lol 💪

[@Sals_Garage]

@@laykawest8674 thanks for your support! And good luck with your repair. I hope it goes smoothly. I’ll be back to E9x soon.

Hey Sal, my car shakes a lot when cold and smoothes out once the engine is hot. However, the vibration is still there with a little bit of rough idle. No check engine light or any codes. Any idea what this could be ?

[@Sals_Garage]

Possible idle control valve worn, hope you can figure it out soon. Good luck 👍

[@J.P745]

@@Sals_Garage thank you

[@Sals_Garage]

@@J.P745 anytime. Good luck 👍

[@chasew.l.5808]

Did you get any codes for it? Nice video tho👍

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks, no codes. Also no weird noises. Just heavy steering when turning the wheel quickly.
