no i don’t you will have to order according to the year and model of your car and what type of hose it is pressure or return

Thanks for your input. Do you happen to know the exact type I would need? Ebay show a few different types to choose from.

Bullshitkorner says:

search around on ebay for the hose, i usually end up finding good deals there for parts, or do a google search and compare prices with shipping compared to what the dealer will sell it for

stlady59 says:

Aside from all the BULL talk, real informative! My power steering hose is leaking fluid and even when hose has been tighten it still leaks. The leak is underneath front end, where the radiator is located, so it is in plain view. .I have had mechanics confirm I need to replace the power steering hole replace due it being old and cracked. What would be the best and cheapest way to replace the power steering hose on a 1991 BMW 323is.
HELP! In need of “KNOW IT ALL, ADVICE”!

lol damn.. good luck man, sounds about like my car

Bullshitkorner says:

your welcome and there will be many more in the future as this car is problematic, the brake light came on tonight saying my pads need to be changed lol it’s always one thing after another

jefftc14 says:

love your videos man, thanks for doing them. drinking some beers right along with ya haha

Bullshitkorner says:

i should have done the vanos when i did the VCG oh well that will be next winters project

Bullshitkorner says:

not on the hose i did it wasn’t, it was a thread in as you can see in the video, the other end had a banjo bolt. however my e46 is a AWD so it’s different than a regular 2wd BMW. i got my hose off ebay for 130 with shipping, Calgary BMW is way out to lunch when it comes to prices i always source it out for cheaper

gneesh14 says:

how did you get the other end off (the end that has the o-ring)- is it a pressure fitting? Ive read that there is a disconnect tool you have to buy to do this. I’m going to do this next week hopefully. Calgary BMW wanted 295 for the hose lol

gneesh14 says:

you should have done the vanos oil line and oil filter housing gasket while you were down there!

Bullshitkorner says:

there is 2 hose i only replaced the hp hose

gneesh14 says:

Was there only one hose or two to replace? is this the high pressure power steering hose? I have to replace the HP one, it has a slight leak.

Bullshitkorner says:

ya the blue ribbon is alright, good cheap beer

Bullshitkorner says:

yes that battle, but BMW’s always have some issue that needs to be addressed

TheMMray says:

Yea Pabst Blue Ribbon… Best gas station bear ever

rdloco says:

And bullshit won! Yeah!

Bullshitkorner says:

most common issues with these BMW faults are the pre-cat 02 sensors or if it’s vacuum related you have a really small leak usually caused in the oil return line to the dip stick. since your car won’t start i’m leaning towards the 02 sensors. let me know how you make out with this
