Hello, on my 2003 325i touring I have recently changed original power steering pump because of it’s broken driving shaft. I’ve replaced it with new aftermarket one and turned the wheel back and forth to get system rid of the air, however the steering still feels heavy once at idle and when...

Hi guys and thanks in advance. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I drive a 2001 330ci with 150k km. Anyway, yesterday my power steering started playing up. It was making grinding sounds with even the slightest turns. Shortly after the power steering just stopped. So now I get a bit...

Ok so I bought a 02 325ci last summer with a defective/used pressure hose. The car would drive just fine but at low speeds the steering wheel is very hard to turn (which makes parking very difficult). Now the pump failed (I was expecting it) and I decided it was time to change the pressure hose...

Hi, noticed yesterday that when i was backing out of my driveway that when i stopped and were to turn my steering wheel it was very very heavy, once i started driving, it got light again. This now happens everytime i take the car to a stop, and as soon as the car starts to move it gets light...

So I have run into a problem and from what I researched it leads me to believe my power steering pump may have failed on me. I have searched the forums but haven't seen or read anything quite like this. The steering is not stiff & the noise occurs whether I'm driving or at a stop. This is a link...

I just recently changed my P/S fluid and hoses. Two days after I now get a horrific sound whenever I barely turn the wheel to the left or the right almost as if there is no fluid at all :tsk: (it does get better at higher speeds). Indy shops telling me it's the pump. $100 in labor if I bring him...

I have a November 2000 330ci which I think has never has had the power steering upgrade. The car was bought second hand one owner full service history and only 73000 ks. Beyond the post March power steering pump is there anything else that needs to be changed to add some more feel to the...

I was driving my car yesterday and parked in a parkade. When I went in, I thought I felt the steering wheel vibrate a bit. I thought it was the bumps. I went shopping. Came back. Steering is very hard. There are no leaks. I think it is the power steering pump. I topped up the fluid, as it was...

So I have a 02 325xi with no signs of power steering problems until today. I was turning into my driveway and all of a sudden it started growling at me. A low pitch growl. I know its most likely something to do with the power steering. I checked the fluid, its not low and color looks fine. The...

A little over a year ago my power steering pump went out and was replaced by the BMW dealer, since I had just bought the car from them a week before. This weekend I lost power steering again. My car is a 2003 330i w/sport pkg and 66k miles. Last time they told me the shaft had sheered off at 55k...

Hey guys i bought a 2004 325I about 7 months ago, and i'm new in the bimmer world. A month ago the steering was heavy and made a cracking noise. i took the vehicle to the mechanic, and he replaced the steering rack. well the problem was not fixed completely. i took the vehicle where they...

Hi , i signed to this forum, because i read so many threads here and i think there are many experts ;) Heres my story I bought my 2002 BMW 325i automatic tran. last february with 76 000 miles on it. Then 2 months later when i turned 18 i got my licence finally so i didnt have to be so carefull...

Hi, I drive a 1999 328i that was assembled in South Africa. The power steering pump needs to be replaced. There arent many garages where I live but I came across a replacement pump that was taken off a 320i 2002 model. Will the pump fit into my 99 328? I havent accessed my pump yet to see if...

Reposting because I think the guys in the DIY thread might know a little bit more than in the General thread. :) I have a '00 E46 328CI that has the original LF-20 pump that just went on me, got a very good deal on an LF-30 power steering pump.. I also found this TSB bulletin (at the bottom)...
