help..steering goes randomly heavy
Hi guys
Need some help please. Basically my m3 has heavy steering in certain situations . if I'm stationary and about to pull left or right it is quite heavy. Also when I approach a junction and brake and turn it goes really heavy . I've checked fluid and its at the right level. Thanks |

You might check to see if the PS system has a filter, and, if it does, it may be clogged. In other BMWs there is a filter and when it clogs up, it restricts the amount of fluid getting to the pump, in turn, causing intermittent heavy feels in the steering.
That's what I've heard. |

Given that the problem is intermittent, a pump issue or some other flow problem is probably more likely, but a flush isn't a bad idea if you've got the mileage racked up.

Had the power steering pump changed but tbh I drove my cousins car and his steering was soo much lighter than mine. I've sold the car a few years back
