Power Steering Fluid - Help!

[Jruss86]

Hello,

I own a 330i 2004 M Clubsport. I'm getting some whining noises in the steering usually in the morning, or after the car hasn't been used for a while. I'm keen on self servicing so I would love it if someone could help me find somewhere that sells bottles of power steering fluid. Castrol or whatever. I've tried Yellowhat, Epco stations and even BMW agmc, to no avail! Is there anywhere any of you can suggest??

Thanks, James.

Steering whining noise could be coz of older steering fluid or coz of weak steering pump. To start with changing the steering oil is better and cheaper fix, its normal PSF (Power steering fluid) same as use in auto gearbox. You can get Mobil 1 PSF or ATF (Auto Trans Fluid) very easily from karama (in Dubai) just before sana fashion if you coming from Garhoud side. Mobil 1 workshop is inside the emarat petrol station in the service lane.
