I saw this article and said, "hey, i know that reservoir!" I guess it's good enough for the new electric Rolls!

Ohhh neato!


I had a couple 1988 BMW 735I's that used the same PS reservoir as the 944's as well. I think its been used on a couple other BMW's around that era. One of the 1995 740I's had it as well.

Very common style on euro cars, I have an old Saab with the same.

It's a ZF part, so used all over. Didn't see a price on the RR? Guessing 2 mill?

Yeah those are used on everything. One of my friends used to have some BMWs that had them so we always joke about it when we find out a car has it.

I guess they are really good...
BUT WHY DO THEY LOOK ALWAYS SO DIRTY

that's it -- my car is now officially a rolls-royce

Nice, it's like seeing the stock N/A chrome tips on other cars (atleast i think those are). Can you paint the power steering res?

lol. That's funny, I think my parent's land rover has the same reservoir as well.

Need some bling? Here's one in a new R8 V10. Check out the cap!

Maybe we can sell our reservoirs to rolls royce owners for a lot of money.

Yep, BMW-era Rovers had them. The clear ones found on 968s, and 964/993 911s are trick...cool upgrade to see how much P/S fluid our 944s leak.

yea cause i'm sure the RR dealership would charge $500 for a replacement hehe

I thought the clear ones were NLA, mainly because they all leaked like crazy? My friend's '92 968 had a clear reservoir, we replaced it with a black one because it leaked. My '93 and '95 have black ones, and I'm pretty sure the '95's black reservoir is the original one.

My Audi uses the exact same PS pump as the 944/68, just a different pulley. You'd think the reservoir would also be the same but it's not.

I see these things all day in BMWs at work. I always thought Mercedes' were funny with the reservoir being integrated with the pump... its just a pump with a cavity on top and a big lid and wingnut.

You don't see them complaining about leaking hoses at the reservoir, do you?
