Here is the new power steering I bought last month

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:44pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
Badb0y4lyf: The brand new power steerings on the market tend to leak. I bought one last year for like 50k and it began leaking days after, I'm guessing you don't notice it on time so you end up damaging the pump. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Badb0y4lyf(m): 12:49pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
HeavenlyBang: I take note of leaks every morning and there was no leaks infact the oil plastic was filled to the accurate gauge. The steering is still soft but it’s started making that noise when it wants to go bad. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ariesbull: 2:09pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
Badb0y4lyf: Keep using mobil1 it is a synthetic oil ...it is meant to short normally after 6 months just too up ...it has low viscosity ..the ride is a 13yr old ride and the engine is a bit old ...so normally there is wears and tears so the oil is meant to short Normally I would say you get a high millage oil ,it is a bit thicker than Mobil 1 but keep using the one you are using ...just too up ..once there is no blue smoke ...cars you too oil as they age ...this is a ride that is above 10yra so it is normal As of the steering is it rack or pump ! Rack is problematic but pump you can buy and change |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ariesbull: 2:11pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
HeavenlyBang:please is it proper to fix my rack...it is leaking oil so I am always topping oil. This is the first time ! My mech said that I can change the rack oil seal, while another said that I should by another rack ! But toks and I don't trust these toks Thanks |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:01pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
Badb0y4lyf: To reiterate, are you dealing with a pump or rack issue? 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:01pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
ariesbull: Change the seal and see how it goes. Ultimately depends on cost differential anyway. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Badb0y4lyf(m): 4:08pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
HeavenlyBang: To my knowledge it’s just steering pump rack is fine steering is soft when working no oil leaks noting I just changed the new steering to another new steering today. Hoping to see a difference and doesn’t spoil every two to three months |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Badb0y4lyf(m): 4:10pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
HeavenlyBang: Here is photo of the new pump 4th one being installed.

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ariesbull: 4:18pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
HeavenlyBang:okay... So it is possible to change the seal ! I will do that ...the ra k is around 120k while ti do the seal is like 30k |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ariesbull: 4:20pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
Badb0y4lyf:another thing is the type of oil that you use...I hope you are using Mercedes star oil ...the one they use for transmission in Benz |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:57pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
ariesbull: I haven't done that before but if it's just a seal, I don't see why it can't be changed. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Itsrm(m): 5:06pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
ariesbull: In my experience, changing the seals should give you roughly 3-5k miles before it starts again. The seals in our market don't last long. So if you plan to keep the vehicle a long time, getting a good toks rack is the more sensible option. If not, change the seal. Again, this is based on my experience. Yours may be completely different. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ariesbull: 6:59pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
Itsrm:okay...let me change the seal then mid year can go for new or toks rack Thanks |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by mayor2013: 7:32am On Mar 15, 2023 |
Badb0y4lyf: Your mechanic enjoys going back and forth and knows nothing about Mercedes Benz. If I may ask was the system bled of air bubbles before starting the vehicle |
