Don't neglect your Power Steering...

Jim, what a great public service announcement!

This maintenance item just got added to the list before the big TOD trip in a month or so.

I once used the Turkey Baster method on a W124 Mercedes-Benz that I owned. It is the only car that I've had with a replaceable filter in the bottom of the PS reservoir.

Hi,

Actually, the filter is integral to the Reservoir Body (PN# 986.314.225.01). So if you're a Fanatic, or intend on keeping the car longterm, it's probably a good idea to replace the Reservoir every 5 yrs. or so. It's only about $25-$30. You'll also need to replace the 2 'O' Rings (PN#s 999.707.363.40, 999.707.364.40) - a couple bucks @, as it's a compression fit using these 'O' rings...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
