Same thing happened to me in my 350z. Where I was revving the nuts out of it and putting the steering pump under stress On full lock I fucked up the bearing and all the fluid started pissing out lol luckily I picked up a pump from the breakers for £40.

Ugh I hope its not that bad and just a fluid issue. Normally I have fun in my supercharged e36 but its getting colder and now its time to start driving the e90 again.

Downhill330i · 10-24-2013, 10:50 AM

The I6's are very torque-y motors. Of course you can do donuts.

LOL, you can do donuts in a powerwheels toy. Our cars have more than enough power to do a freakin donut.

ANY CAR can do a donut, its if the car can continue its swang, then it has power (and a posi)

E93FTW · 10-24-2013, 08:58 PM

I can do donuts with my new Nikes bro.

klove83 · 10-25-2013, 03:37 PM

Still waiting for fluid to come in the mail. Fingers crossed

SP3333D · 11-19-2013, 10:21 PM

What did your problem end up being? I had the same thing happen to mine tonight. too many tight donuts and then suddenly all of the power steering fluid was on the ground...

klove83 · 11-28-2013, 12:24 AM

Fluid didn't fix it :/ So now Im just hemaning it around.

LEVz_ · 11-28-2013, 08:27 AM

Probably a pump dude, that's what my mate did to his E class haha

Forgot i posted in here. Mine ended up being the hose again. Had it back out of the pump 2 years ago and then they installed it incorrectly and this time it rubbed on something and actually put a hole in the hose... Fortunately my insurance is footing the bill, so I can tell you that retail on a pump is roughly $600, and $365 for the main hose, +fluid +labor...

klove83 · 11-28-2013, 04:13 PM

Damn.

If I keep driving the car as is will it cause more issues?

If you are driving with no fluid in the pump you stand a good chance of killing the pump.
