BMW E46 power steering hose and reservoir replacement. 2005 325ci power steering hose repair
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.
