BMW Power Steering Reservoir - Rein 32416851217

Works for both CHF11.S and ATF power steering fills, please reference our note below for more information

BMW power steering reservoirs serve a few different functions. They have an integrated filter which removed shavings/dirt from the fluid. The reservoir also allows a place for the fluid to collect and cool as well. Over time, these reservoirs can crack which can cause a catastrophic power steering system failure. Additionally, the reservoir houses the filter which is non serviceable. Reservoirs should be changed at regular intervals for best function and long term reliability of the power steering system. Reservoir comes with cap, cap seal, and integrated filter.

Note: You can identify what type of fill your BMW's power steering system has in two ways:
1) There should be a label on the power steering reservoir that denotes the fill
2) If the label is missing or you can't see it: inspect the fluid color:
Red fluid: ATF (Dex III)
Gold fluid: CHF11S (Standard power steering fluid)

Maintain your vehicle's power steering system to ensure smooth operation so you can remain in control. Replace your old reservoir to fix leaks, and to prevent fluid contamination which can ultimately cause system failures that lead to more costly repairs down the road.
