Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1984 Mercedes 380SE mileage: 240,000. When I
start the car in the mornings, the power steering whines
loudly, the noise dies down as the engine warms up. But
it is getting progressively worse each day. There
is nothing in the owner’s manual about where the intake
is for power steering fluid. It just keeps
referring to (ATF) Auto Trans fluid is used. Does
the ATF intake double for the power steering as well.
I topped up the ATF this made the gear change smoother
but did nothing for the power steering noise. Can
you help please?
Answer: The power steering fluid (ATF)
must be added to the power steering pump. On top
of the pump is a large round cap. Remove the cap
to add the fluid.
