We replace the power steering reservoir and a faulty hose on my 2005 BMW 325ci project car. This should be very similar for most BMW 3 series E46 models, but the fittings may be different. The E46 power steering hoses and reservoir are notorious for leaking. The hoses are known to get brittle and crack after years of use. In this video, we clean away the crud to find the pressurized power steering line had done just that. It was cracked in many places and had made a real mess of the engine compartment. We install a new reservoir as well. This is a relatively easy project that could be done in an afternoon. I had amazing access since the bumper and headlights were removed, but you could just remove the air box for complete access from the top.

Appreciate the video and supporting diy mechanics out there. About the factory hose clamps, please replace them. The integrity of it's strength and support were diminished as soon as it was taken off. High pressure will blow the hose off one of these days.

Thanks, congrats on being able to reuse the clamps. I'm going to get some worm screw clamps for backup. Anyone know the OD of the hoses? Roughly 1/2 or 5/8 inch? Not a big deal, but for a couple extra bucks one could use synthetic ATF.

Nice work! At some point you should change the lower hose that connects to the power steering pump, and change the plastic power steering pulley to an aluminium one.

Start with a degreaser like simple green and a stiff plastic brush. If that’s not effective go stronger like a foaming engine cleaner.

14:03 so that hose is okay to be loose ? Or did you have to push it more in to click in
@robdude1969
@robdude1969 Год назад
It has a one way compression type fitting that secures as you push it in. To release it it has to be opened by pressing the end of the fitting inward. If yours slides in and out easily, check the end to be sure it is complete. Good luck. Hope that makes sense.

I haven’t had to do one yet. Keep watching videos, read the service manual, and be realistic on what you have the patience to do on your own. I bet you can do it.
