Your Ride: 1994 540I
1994 540I Power Steering Hose Routing
I am looking for a routing diagram, picture or other assistance to route the low pressure power steering hose (large line from reservoir to pump). I believe it was previously routed between the two braided metal lines from the oil filter to the engine, but have no way of knowing at this point. Both lines normally run fairly close to the back of the alternator and its respective connections, but this one is metal where it passes the alternator and I do not need a dead short. I would like to make sure from someone who might be able to confirm the routing by looking at their own if possible, but a picture would probably serve as well. Bentley is lacking in this aspect.
