| AGA-PSR-6061-097-164 replaces BMW Part#: 32-41-1-097-164 | AGA-PSR-6061-228-855 replaces BMW Part#: 32-41-2-228-855 |
PROBLEM:The power steering reservoir is plastic and has very low heat dissipation. As a result, the steering system overheats if the car is driven hard. Even if driven normal in warm climates, the system runs hot causing the life of the steering component to be reduced. |
SOLUTION:All German Auto has developed a billet 6061 aluminum power steering reservoir. The billet finned design offers superior heat dissipation over the stock reservoir. The internal replaceable hi flow filter offers better than stock filtration with less back pressure. |
BENEFIT:This AGA power steering reservoir is a direct bolt in part that installs in minutes. It lowers the power steering system temperature significantly, extends power steering component life, prevents steering fluid from overheating in hard driving conditions, and has a replaceable filter. |

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for experienced technicians only. This job should only be done by an experienced technician. If instructions are need to remove stock components refer to All Data, Mitchel or Factory Manual.
STEP 1 - REMOVE
To reduce oil spilled during replacement, empty reservoir with suction device. If necessary, remove surrounding components (ex: air filter housing) to gain access to power steering hoses. Loosen clamping bolt on bracket. Remove clamps from hoses(If hose clamp is crimp type, cut with pliers) and remove reservoir.
STEP 2
Check condition of hoses. If cracking or swelling, replace hoses.
STEP 3
Installing reservoir: Fit hoses on reservoir. NOTE:supply and return hoses are different sizes. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN CLAMPS. Slide reservoir into bracket and tighten clamping bolt. Fill reservoir with factory fluid to proper level. Start engine and let run for 1 minute. Shut engine off and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Recheck fluid level.
STEP 4 - VENT KIT (optional)
Push nipple into vent hole in cap. Route the vent house to a low point in the engine compartment. Make sure the hose is away from belts and hot components in the engine compartment. Secure vent hose with zip ties. Do not over tighten zip ties causing the vent tube t be restricted.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING THE FILTER:
These instructions are for experienced technicians only. This job should only be done by an experienced technician. If instructions are need to remove stock components refer to All Data, Mitchel or Factory Manual.
STEP 1
Begin by removing the power steering reservoir from the vehicle.
STEP 2
Using strap wrench, unscrew the top of the reservoir.
STEP 3
Remove the bolt (5mm allen) from the center of the filter and remove filter. Remove the small o-ring under the filter. Clean filter housing for any debris. Install small o-ring (to keep o-ring in grove, a small amount of the supplied grease can be used). Install filter. Install bolt/washer and tighten to 60 inch pounds (5Ft. lbs). Remove the large o-ring in reservoir top. Install new large o-ring. Apply film grease to o-ring. Screw top on and hand tighten with strap wrench.
CAUTION: If the threads don't line up perfectly when screwing the top on the reservoir, the reservoir will be damaged.
STEP 4
Once the reservoir is back together, install in vehicle per the instructions above.
