Fluid power steering schedule
Hello everybody for a bmw f13 640i when you change fluid power steering?
And how to do it? Spark plugs need to be changed if no starting problems? |

When you open your hood/bonnet and look to the right side (as you're standing in front of the car)...do you see a power steering reservoir? (see pics below of the 650i & 650ix engine bays with the N63TU engine...the AWD "ix" is the one with and the RWD "i" is the one without the PS reservoir...the 6 cyl PS reservoir would be in a similar location):

If you're having a no start issue, I would check fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel pressure at the rail) before anything else. I wouldn't even suspect injectors, because you would have to have a lot of them fail at the same time, which is unlikely as was the case with all spark plugs failing at the same time. Whenever you have a part that has multiples (injectors, spark plugs, ignition coils), they typically will not prevent a car from starting. Even if you have 3 out of 6 bad ones, the car will start, but run extremely rough or die. I would look at a part that has only 1 unit (fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, battery {try a different battery even if you think yours is good}, ignition switch, starter, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, ECM. |

Okay, the fluid is located in the trunk. To change it, open the trunk, take out the spare tire, and remove the battery. Underneath the battery, there should be a large reservoir that holds pink power steering fluid. There is a drain valve next to it. Open the drain valve and it will all drain into the exhaust. Then just refill with the new pink power steering fluid. I'm done here. |

OK thank you very much sorry to repeat my question.
No problem if I disconnect the battery I mean there will be no problem on the dashboard or other things to re configure? Thks Last edited by hart07; 06-04-2020 at 02:18 PM.. |

If you disconnect the battery (lose electrical power)...according to the owners manual you'll at the least need to reset the date, clock, and some seat/mirror settings...and you'll need to reset the sunroof if you have the 4dr GC or the 2dr coupe. But I'll say it one more time...the only 640i models that have a power steering reservoir are the ones optioned with either of the two options below...if you do NOT have either of these two option pkgs...then you won't have a power steering reservoir on a 640i because the steering is electronic: Options that gives the RWD 640i a power steering reservoir:
