Product Information
Addresses overheating conditions on track driven E9X M3's preventing power steering system overflows and damaged components, offers an 83% increase in surface area and lab tested to be ~40% more efficient than stock power steering coolers
Track driven E9X M3's are known to have issues with stock power steering coolers. Due to the OE coolers low efficiency it's not uncommon for the system to overheat and cause a power steering fluid overflow out of the reservoir. If unchecked this can cause power steering rack or pump damage.
This CSF power steering cooler differs in design over the OE cooler which is a low efficiency mechanically bonded core design to CAB-brazed high efficiency plate-type design. It's made with CSF’s AC condenser technology using a 1-row super-high pressure 18mm wide 4-channel microtube. It also offers a dual pass 6-row design with an 83% increase in surface area compared to the OE unit. IT has been lab tested at ~40% more efficient than OEM cooler
In addition to offering tremendous performance gains over the stock cooler, this CSF power steering cooler is a direct fit solution requiring no modifications to install. Accepts all attaching OE components including oil-line connections, mounting brackets, and AC condenser. World’s 1st true “plug-and-play” power steering cooler for the E9X M3 platform.
Note: Increase in unit size (total 83 mm or 3.27 inches in height) designed towards the top of the cooler from OE position. This allows the cooler to work with any aftermarket supercharger heat exchanger or auxiliary coolers that may be placed underneath OE positioned power steering cooler
A power steering cooler is a component in the power steering system designed to reduce the temperature of the steering fluid as it circulates. By dissipating excess heat, it helps maintain optimal fluid viscosity, prevents overheating, and extends the life of the power steering pump and other components. This ensures smoother steering performance and increased system reliability, especially under heavy loads or high temperatures.
Power Steering Cooler Failure Symptoms- Power steering fluid leaks around the cooler or connecting hoses.
- Overheated or foamy steering fluid, reducing system efficiency.
- Stiff or noisy steering operation, often due to degraded fluid from excessive heat.
