Is you car crying, making whining noises? Then it's most likely the power steering fluid that needs to be changed. Here's what I used: rover.ebay.com/...
Wow this is more like it. I've seen other other CZcamsrs disconnect one of the oil lines to drain. This is by far the best video on this topic. Thank you.
Thanks brother, I figured my 2006 BMW 325i was bad fluid. I heard a whine when steering left/right and when just idling. Took it to Pep Boys and they told me it wasn’t a guaranteed fix but I knew it was bad fluid. They flushed the power steering fluid and BAM!!!! Whine is gone! Fluid was brown and horrible. Now, I’m monitoring the pump/fluid. But so far, really really smooth and quiet.
Yeah I was shocked too when the noise completely disappeared. I figured maybe a little bit of pump noise would be still there but no completely gone! Glad it worked out for you as well!
My car has about 160k miles and I will be replacing the power steering pump and reservoir soon. The whine is gone, but just feel like it’s the right thing to do. They said that fluid was brown. This was a temp fix for me until I get time to replace those components.
Great video 👍 I recommend to not run the engine with the pump dry or under the correct amount of fluid (running the engine to power the pump whilst filling it back up). I also recommend to not put rags into the fluid to check colour. Just turn the wheel with the engine off (as you did). You will see air escaping as it continues to fill up to the max mark. Also just check your service manual for the amount you need. Also, make sure you use the correct fluid. Not all cars like ATF. Thanks again.
@@AlbanianFix Brother I Have Changed my Compressor and Condenser of my BMW X1 because my AC Was not Working....

I totally agreed. This is the best way to flush and add new oil. It’s by far the video for power steering oil change on CZcams. Thanks for making this video. I am going to change fluid soon. And this will the first time I’m doing the proper way.👍🏻
@@AlbanianFixvlla you said that the car was whining when cold and gradually it went away as the car was heating up. In my car it's the other way aroune. I had to change valve stem seals in my 545i so i had no choice but to empty the reservoir and i added CHF 11 and all was good, this was winter time, as the weather got hotter it started whining. The level is always right when i take a look, I am confused...i forgot to mention the fluid gets bubbly...
If your power steering pump reservoir and cap continue to get dirty with fluid vapor it’s time to change the reservoir - its internal filter is failing.
I had another car with rack and pinion steering that suddenly lost the power assist when turning to the right -- but worked fine turning to the left. I thought I would have to repair or replace the rack assembly, but someone suggested I add Marvel Mystery Oil to the power steering fluid, which I did, and it solved the problem immediately. Don't ask me why, it just worked!
My god!! all the videos out there and not one person new there was a damn DRAIN BOLT on the rack!?? They have you pulling hoses and lines off for nothing.. thank you so much for Sharing this information with the world😂
Lol, I thought I was just adding to the “BMW noise” pile of youtube videos but it’s always refreshing to know that this video is actually helping people. Thanks for the comment!
I think this is the right way of flushing and adding fresh fluids. All other videos like you mentioned seemed incorrect. Glad i found your video. Thanks.. I'll be doing this today!
Thanks for your support. Yes, I still think it’s the way to go and not even a month ago I just helped a friend with changing his bimmer fluids and I just did it like this again.
Mom's 2009 528i ..(E60-N52 engine)... In '23.... , While dealing with oil deposits both sides engine, idler and tensioner pulleys redone, pending valve cover gasket change, I checked the steering fluid resevoir. It had fluid but not touching showing on cap stick. A couple days after niece's acquaintance did gasket I topped steering with Prestone European (green). A couple hrs later Mom calls with hard steering, drove three miles home. I think hose crimp failure at pump intake flange , which connection secreted enough when I filled it to "spray"? 3" forward on pump pulley and the serpentine belt jumped to shreds..... I have plenty extra ATF, and/ or clear steering fluid which with your method I could see the clear exchange below and then replace with new ATF or buy CHF11s... /(?)\
You’re welcome! So up until I could see the fresh green fluid coming out of the rack I had already used 3/4 of the 1 liter CHF can but I still continued flushing the system with the rest of it. So in my case I used the whole 1 liter can.
My 2011 E92 N55 makes the same noise all of the time running at all RPM’s and both hot or cold. Thought it was steering fluid so I changed the fluid put in new Titan CHF 11S. But nope, still making noise. Gonna check valve cover, CCV valve next.
Hey replace the reservoir, theres a filter internal to the reservoir that is prone to clogging due to the cap being open to atmosphere for pressure bleeding.
Mine only make that noise when I left the car overnight while sleeping but once I turn on the engine it makes that noise but once I drive around and the entire and oil running smooth it just gone no noise but everyday I have to drive 15-20min till the noise disappear. Any ideas what it does that???
That sounds exactly what mine would do every mornin too. Once it warmed up, the noise would slowly disappear but even then, I still would hear it sometimes when I turned the wheel to the extreme right or left.
I just purchased a BMW warranty. $184 max if anything needs fixing. This labor outrageous at an ASE mechanic or bmw dealer. Have a whining noise coming from driver side front while idle and driving. When I apply the brake, noise stops. Can anyone advise what issue could be!!? Thank you.
Hmm... when you mention the brakes, it doesn't really apply to this issue. Just thinking outside the box... Do you have a possible vacuum leak in the brake booster? Was the extra warranty not covering this?

Hello. I've drained fluid through pipe nut, after that i've filled approx. 700ml of CHF11S and when I've start engine there was terrible noise when I sway the steering wheel left dead point to right dead point. Then sound became little less noisy. BUT! There are still stay awful sound when I turning steering wheel. Is that is normal?
You said you drained fluid and then refilled 700ml. Why? I showed in the video to fill WHILE it’s draining. That way there are no air pockets introduced into the system which is very important. So, I believe you have air in the system which makes the pump work harder and give out that noise.
Thank you! The car has 4 hard plastic blocks, two on each side made for jack points to lift it easier. Once I lift the car up high enough on both front jack points, I slide in a couple of jack stands so the wheels can be in the air.
Well it’s been a year and half since this video and had no problems at all. Next project will be replacing the pump as well when I change the fluids. 👍👍👍
Nice job, is it okay if i take power steering pump to rebuild it and clean it before new fluid? Is there some kind of a cleaner for power steering system? I have a lot of noise when starting it cold...
I think that would help a lot if your willing to do the work. I’m not sure there are any specific cleaners out there for this type of job but taking the pump apart and cleaning it with fresh power steering fluid would do the job just as good.
That’s normal, it’s because the pinion is pushing hard against the rack but because the pathway is at its end and there is no room for the the fluid to push through which then creates pressure and then the pump works harder and therefore the noise. I always avoid to fully lock the steering wheel and if I have to make a U-Turn, I always back off a quarter or half a rotation from the lock position.
What happened? You followed these exact steps and nothing worked? I’m thinking if the pump was already at the end of its life and now it’s not working at all…

Hey Vishal, since the AC work that you’ve done doesn’t really have to do anything with the steering pump noises, I would say to 1st change the fluid and see if that fixes the issue and if not, then I would look into changing the pump. Good luck!

Yeah… I apologize but the background music I was using to create this video used to be Non-copyrighted and then the author changed it to copyrighted and this video got flagged so I had to mute that section out.
Good question... I don’t really know because I never took it out all the way see the kind of bolt it is. It just took a little bit to get unscrewed and fluid came out right away.
@@zaxosz5063 Yes there is metal pipe attached to it. The setup of this bolt with the pipe looks very similar to the ones from the AC condenser attachments.
Is the process the same for e36 model (316i)? After refilling atf the whining noise near the engine was gone but when i turn the steering all the way to the right or left theres a groaning noise loud weird noise with strong vibration i was alarmed what could be the possible problem of my power steering?!
I’m not really sure about your model but I believe, yes, it should be. The noise that you’re experiencing is exactly the reason why you need to completely drain the system out all the gunk deposits that are still floating in the crevices of the power steering rack because refilling from the top won’t get rid of all the residues that lie at the bottom.
Wow this is more like it.

Why is your fluid green? Doesnt the cap say atf oil only? You're going to wear out your pump using normal power steering fluid on this engine.
This was recommended in various BMW forums. I kinda had the feeling to follow the cap but a huge amount of comments were recommending this one.
@@AlbanianFix late to the party, but the caps on N52/N51 engines that I've seen say CHF-11S, maybe turbocharged models use different stuff?

@@zaxosz5063 so the e46 doesn't have a drain bolt?
@@zlabfab487 I don't think any of them have a drain bolt.
Is the process the same for e36 model (316i)? After refilling atf the whining noise near the engine was gone but when i turn the steering all the way to the right or left theres a groaning noise loud weird noise with strong vibration i was alarmed what could be the possible problem of my power steering?!
I’m not really sure about your model but I believe, yes, it should be. The noise that you’re experiencing is exactly the reason why you need to completely drain the system out all the gunk deposits that are still floating in the crevices of the power steering rack because refilling from the top won’t get rid of all the residues that lie at the bottom.
Muchas graciassss
You’re welcome!
bruh i was waiting to hear the sound
lol 😂 it’s gone bruh
