Mini power steering res
First hello. This is my first post but im sure not my last. I bought a 2007 mini cooper last week and am fixing a few things on it. The ps started to whine. After googleing for hours and looking around the engine bay i see no ps reservoir. The coolant expansion tank is located in front of the engine. I do not see the typical bmw style reservoir anywhere, where is this located? It is the naturally aspirated engine. Thanks for your help!

Also i should mention that there is zero mention of anything power steering related in the manual
|
Ok so i found that this car has a servo, probably why i could not find anything power steering related. Now does anyone have any idea what a whinr that sounds identical to a power steering pump could be?

Not sure if I am posting correctly new to the site but I have a 05 Cooper and it hesitates
when shifting between gears and when you rev the engine while idling. Any idea |
The power steering in the R56 is entirely electric power assisted. They use fully "electric servo" power assisted steering with a motor geared direct to the steering rack with no hydraulics or fluid reservoir and less noise. Can you post a video of what you're hearing?
