Power Steering cooling pipe question...

[bergie33]

I need a new one. I have one on order through the dealer, but it is on backorder. It is for a 535i, but is the same part as the one for a 525i. Does anyone have one I can buy from them? Is there anything else I can use instead?

This is the metal pipe that mounts in front of the radiator.

I didn't even know there was a P/S cooling pipe! Where is it? I bet mine's full of horrible black fluid like the P/S storage tank is!

Cheers,

Shaun

I have had good luck ordering from www.shopautobahnparts.com in Fort Worth. Just type in the part #32411137934.

Why would you need a new one? Mine survived a front-end collision.

It was in a front end collision, and the PO didn't include the old part.

Well, I did have to "convince" mine to go back into place. Good thing no one can see it.
