Just got done yesterday replacing this oil seal gasket, and ANOTHER power steering pump on the wifes Beemer
What a pain in the ass! Had to buy some fan wrenches to get the damn fan off. Then her power steering cooler return line has had it....the last mechanic didn't replace the reservoir for the power steering fluid (and I suspect thats why the other one failed. The drain plug has some cockamainy plug for the oil that looks like a cork screw on the threads, have to find some sort of fix for that...and it ain't gonna be an $800.00 oil pan and the pain in the ass to fix it! The little 3 foot long hose BMW wants $275.00 for, but found one for $60.00.....Sixty dollars for a 3 foot hose is bad enough! In fact that ridiculous!
I told the wife this morning we gotta find a way to get another car, because this one is gonna put us in the poor house!
