snapped banjo bolt

[chinna]

stupidly snapped the larger of the 2 banjo bolts going into the power steering pump. so need a new one. are these bolts dealer only or can i pick them up at halfrauds?

[BHadley]

Prob better to place a wanted ad here, plenty of traders breaking some so try that perhaps?

[DanThe]

Anywhere selling hydraulics spares will have them

[xavier]

I took the remains of a broken one to a hydraulics place( like DanThe suggested) and they matched it up. Don't beat yourself up too much, snapping Banjos is easily done.

pirtek should have them

[chinna]

didnt even comw up pirtek when i searched coventry. when to the dealers after looking on real oem and theyre gonna email germany monday as the part number is no longer there for the larger of the 2 bolts

ETK still lists all part numbers, even if they are long obsolete. The ETK does NOT list part numbers for items that shouldn't be on your car, so it's likely that either parts have previously been replaced with different ones, or there's a mistake in the ETK.
Try entering less specific details of your car into the ETK, and it'll come up as 32 41 6 783 887.

I've got a spare one, I'm pretty sure.

never knew of etk in my ignorance, only real oem. do the dealers not use/know of etk. will ring them this morning with a part number now and see. thanks for the offer bosers.

Real OEM is the old version of the ETK that was used by dealers up to several years ago. Bmwfans.info is the modern version of the ETK, and is exactly what will come up on the screens at your local BMW dealer's parts desk, albeit with up to date prices.

not what sytner bmw in coventry came up with. will ask why when/if the parts guy gets back to me

32 41 6 783 887 is the part number of the 16 x 28mm banjo bolt used on the steering pump of all these BMW models: http://2009.bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/32416783887/
