Re: Power steering

If you replaced it yourself, were you careful to postion it away from the engine and related brackets one it's way to the gearbox? This hose moves under pressure a little and could have chaffed against something. It's very unusual to see a 'Factory BMW' P/S hose fail so quickly though I have seen 'aftermarket' replacements fail due to poor fitment because of poor pipe bending and 'cheap' construction....puzzling...............jeffb.
