What Causes the Failure of Power Steering in BMW Z4?
1 Answers
BMW Z4 power steering failure is due to faults in the power steering system, excessive load on the steering system, broken power steering pump belt, and other reasons, as detailed below: Power Steering System Fault: If the power steering system malfunctions and you suddenly find the steering very heavy, you should quickly release the throttle, reduce the speed, forcefully operate the steering wheel, and park the vehicle at an appropriate location. Lack of Power Steering Fluid: A lack of power steering fluid is caused by hydraulic pipe leakage, damage to the reservoir tank, and other reasons. Broken Power Steering Pump Belt: Check if the power steering pump belt is broken. If it breaks and the power steering pump is driven by a single belt, you can continue driving, but without power assistance, and should go to a repair shop as soon as possible. If it is a combined belt, the vehicle can only be driven for a short distance and time because the vehicle is in a non-generating state, and the engine will shut down once the battery is depleted.
