hey guys

need help gettin air out of my power steering, can hear it in the rack

do you just jack car up and go back n forth with the wheel to get them out or what?

since iv started drifting i been topping it up regularly but it seems like even everyday drivin it still wants to spew out.. like looks empty in the can but when you turn the wheel it rises very quick..

not sure if this belongs here but once we have a answer i guess its general maintenance

thanks for your time and any help you may give

you might have a problem with the pump or a leak in the line... Are you losing fluid?

Correct way to bleed is with car running, on the ground, fill it up and get someone to sit in the car and turn the wheel lock to lock for a while, all while you keep topping up the fluid,

thanks

did it this morning once i turned it on with few turns it started takin fluid, a fair but too ahaha it doesnt leak at all.. only when i jack the car up and all the left over that spewed out runs down the chassis a little

thanks for your help

Away from the topic.

I have a problem with the power steering.

I've filled the fluid to the maximum but the steering is still not as smooth.

when i turn, i can hear the "click" sound. not always, but is the amount of turns i make.

what is the problem?

the steering wheel is not as smooth and soft as my friends car with have power steering.

Help...

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
