Power Steering
First two laps ever around the ring in my 08 e92 and my power steering pump is toast. I have not been to the dealer yet as it happened today, but everything is running fine except for it being extremely hard to turn the wheel. It happened about 3/4 through my second lap...no codes, just all of a sudden the steering got VERY stiff.
Anyone else heard of this happening? |

Found the problem
Well thankfully I found the problem. Luckily it wasn't the actual power steering pump!! Turns out I shredded my a/c drive belt that just so happens also turns the power steering pump.
Just ordered a new belt from AA since I have the power pulley from them. Dealer quoted me 200 euro for labor...I pulled everything apart in 25 min and just need the new belt to finish up the job. |

nice at least it was an easy fix. i wish the steering was a little less assisted especially at low speed feels too much like a regular car.
