Look inside the reservoir, if the fluid looks frothy, then it's low. There should be no air in the fluid.
hi ala_xfire
so I checked my power steering fluid and with cold engine it does not even cover the tip of the dipstick.
Now I did some research to find the correct fluid and found on the MB forum PENTOSIN CHF 11S W0133-1850220 $ 23. Is this the correct fluid to use?
Now how I know how much I should put in? Just a little at time and where should it reach with cold engine? I post 2 pics from the dipstick. Hopefully you can assist me with that. Should I test the fluid in the reservoir between my fingers to see if it has particles in it and if should it be replaced? Can I do that or better to drive to MB shop?
so many questions. Thank you so very much for your assistance.
