I had some smoke issueing from the rear right wheel area after a quick run so a trip to the local OPC was in order.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all. Being subjected to the usual rubbish service from Porsche France (you think its bad in the UK). I had some smoke issueing from the rear right wheel area after a quick run so a trip to the local OPC was in order. Prior to this my steering fluid had dropped which i duly topped up (the reservior for which is directly above the right rear wheel...) They had it for a day then declared they did not know where the smoke came from but needed to change the steering rack for 3500 Euro! and no i didn't need to see the weeping seal! I took the car back home and told them to stick it. Anybody had their rack changed? i priced it about 800 pounds for the rack plus fitting certainly not circa 2800 pounds! Migration info. Legacy thread was 34561

POST 2Original post

i've had steering racks on bmw's reconditioned for about £300, its normally the seals that go firm in bristol who advertise in our exchange and mart, very quick turn around Migration info. Legacy thread was 34562

POST 3Original post

Matt, I reckon the smoke is fluid leaking from the braided pipe that goes from the reservois to the rack and dripping on your exhaust, this happened on my old 964! Mind you my rack went on my 993, if you insert a blunt screwdriver between the rack bushes and fluid poors out then the rck has gone. JZ did mine recently cost about a grand! They did not recommend a reconditioned unit! Migration info. Legacy thread was 34564

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys Thanks for the input. I just found it odd that they can find no reason for the smoke even though the reservoir is directly above the source! Migration info. Legacy thread was 34565
