1999 B3 3.3 PAS Pipes?

Post by Rav » Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:29 am

My PAS system is leaking.

I took the car for investigation at a local garage today and they have advised that I change both high pressure and low pressure PAS pipes.

Are these basically 330/328 BMW pipes or are these specialist pipes?

Many thanks

save the guessing and get yourself to realoem and the alpina parts catalogue on this site to search and identify the correct parts

I have read that the jubilee clips fail and BMW redesigned the pipes at some stage for better clips.

I have a feeling it is the clips that have failed.

Any advice please?

if you have a set of ramps you should be able to check if perished pipes or loose hose/s
