E90 rack failure

Recommended Posts

Guest Ari Gold

So my E90 experience lasted a full week before it went sour.

Steering rack is making the same noises as a leaky E30 one. Oil on the ground, oil all through the plastic shrouds under the engine bay, but funnily, all the hoses, pump and reservoir are showing no signs of fatigue.

Is this at all heard of on E90's? 05 model, done 40,000kms.

Its five years old, thats old in BMW car years. Not unheard of for a car to have issues even after one year, just a shame its out of warranty.

What model did you buy?

the 120i still has a leak SOMEWHERE that every now and then drips onto manifold and stinks out the car....

BMW couldnt find it yet still reamed 500 bucks out of mum...

It's a 320i (not Si unfortunately Graeme!)

Coming of the right hand side so it's either pump / rh boot / split hose. It's bloody everywhere.

Cheers to Chris at Botany for all your help this arvo!

Its the power steering pump and the water pump is leaking as well. Some of the parts required are X Germany. So the car will be layed up here for approx 10 days
