power steering cooler

[rede30]

Why do ix's have power steering coolers?

[rede30]

This is driving me crazy. Do other models? do all ix's?

[mr.vang]

why does P/S need cooling?

[Adrian_Visser]

Because the fluid gets hot...

Euro s50's and s54's will boil the fluid sometimes when tracking the car.

but why ix's? I realize why a car would have a cooler.

which iX's got it?

[nando]

only early ones

if it's leaking/in bad shape (likely, the one on my parts car is nearly rusted through) remove it. You don't need it. It was another excersize in overengineering, bmw did it all the time (fuel pulse damper, fuel cooler, etc) and later deleted it when they realized the cost/benefit wasn't worth it.

ix's aren't er0h M3's, either.

dear its your choice but i like red and blue in codiscount tire bloomington mnlors so if like than pick it. by the way what color you like for power stearing

[Kershaw]

my 89 does not have this.

my 88 does. is the 88 a specific steering rack? i should have looked at it more extensively. a lot of shit in the way though. these lines are the only rusty thing on the car.

i deleted my PS. win.

my 89 does not have this. i think 88s came standard with many things that later models were sold with as "options" like sport seats and all that.

P/S coolers are a good thing.
