Bad fuel mileage could be caused by a lot of things. The power steering pump could be the problem, but there's no way to tell. Since you already know it's bad, just replace it. When trying to fix a...

If you can't find a Thule 225, the 2047 will also work.

The 2047 was still available a few years ago when I got my TI, but I just checked and now it's also discontinued, like the 225. But it's a...

Where do they look it up, though? Is there a database of all the cars that BMW ever made? If so, who gets access to it?

How to tell if a fuel injector is bad?

95, manual transmission, over 200k miles.
