Hi, i sent my e90 320i for inspection at a workshop that day and they found the power steering pump leaking. According to the person in charge, it is a minor leak. These are the photos taken. View attachment 32149View attachment 32150View attachment 32151To rectify the problem, this is their quotation: QTY PRICE/UNIT PRICE POWER STEERING PUMP 1.00 1,610.00 1,610.00 THERMOSTAT 1.00 135.00 135.00 OIL COOLER O'RING 15.00 2.00 30.00 NUT TENSIONER 1.00 125.00 125.00 TORQUE CONVERTER OIL SEAL 1.00 298.00 298.00 PS HYDRAULIC FLUID - 1L 2.00 70.00 140.00Labour cost TO REPLACE ENGINE COOLING THERMOSTAT 1.00 80.00 80.00 TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP - TO REPLACE TENSIONAL FAN BELT 1.00 180.00 180.00Total RM 2,598 before gov taxneeds sifus advice whether the price quoted is reasonable? According to the person in charge, to rectify, must change the whole PS Pump together with other related parts, not able to repair as no repair kit. However, it is still drivable but gradually PS will become heavy within 5000km and might cause other major problems if ignored.Any advice, Sifus?

Try STP Steering Stop Leak fluid. Tried it for minor leaks before and it works. Drain the existing fluid and top up with this. Takes a few days to work.

Thanks Kht, so if the Steering Stop Leak Fluid can work, means the damage is very small one rite?

By the way, do you do it yourself? Or you let a workshop get things done for you?
