Mercedes Power Steering Flush and Reservoir Replacement DIY - Step by Step Guide with Tips and Tricks
Mercedes Power Steering Flush and Reservoir Replacement DIY for Mercedes-Benz vehicles including W211 E320 and E500. Also applies to other Mercedes with M112, M113 and M113k engines including ML320, ML500, S500, SL500, C280 and AMG C55, E55, and more.
Flushing your power steering fluid is a good way to extend the lifetime of the power steering components and ensure the best driving experience.
There is a built-in filter in the power steering reservoir for Mercedes vehicles with the M112 and M113 based engines. The only way to replace this filter is to replace the reservoir.
There is plenty of information on the Internet about this repair, we put together this video to show you the tips and tricks that are going to make it a breeze to complete.
Some people claim that replacing the reservoir helped reduce the noise of their power steering pump. We may have experienced a slight reduction in noise, but primarily got peace of mind from the repair knowing a new filter and fresh fluid were in the system.
You can follow these steps if you are flushing the system only and not replacing the reservoir. Simply skip past the part where we install the new reservoir to where we reattach the hose and bleed the system.
Take your time and use plenty of rags underneath the pump and reservoir. We could have used a few more.
Of course, proceed at your own risk, and always work safely in a clearly lit environment. Thanks for watching, please like, subscribe and share if this video helped you!

@RothBeyondTheGrave 3 күн бұрын

You can! However if you haven't done it already, that clip which secures the res to the power steering pump on the M272 is a fair amount harder to access than on the M112. That clip is by far the hardest part of the entire job. Very straightforward besides that.

Great video, I'm looking to do this to a s211 how much power steering fluid did you use as the good old Internet is giving loads of different information from 1 litre to 8 litres which is a huge difference

@fatherandsonfix 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, this video was filmed on our wagon :) we used close to 2L. However, if you replace the filter before flushing, you might be able to use closer to 1L.

These steps generally apply to flushing the power steering reservoir on most vehicles. You should double-check part numbers and fluid specs for your CLK.

When it is the time to change that filter tank ?

@fatherandsonfix 3 ай бұрын

There's a lot of different opinions on this ranging from every 2 years to 100,000 miles. We would say every 60,000 miles to be safe. It's also a good idea to replace it if you are replacing the pump.

@@fatherandsonfix on W210, 100.000 km, year1996 we changed the oil and went from the original 345.0 green to 236.3 yellow because it looked more dark yellow when dirty. Everything bled correctly. Immediately after the change, I felt a much stiffer power steering than before. I thought it was because of the slightly more viscous oil. I swapped it back with Fuchs 345.0 green and the steering wheel is still noticeably heavier. I am now thinking of replacing the canister filter. What is your opinion ?

@fatherandsonfix 3 ай бұрын

@@joesaric1 the price of these are not too much and worth replacing it as part of troubleshooting. it's not a guarantee that it will fix it, but you can rule that part out.

@joesaric1 3 ай бұрын

@@fatherandsonfix I think the filter could be the cause, especially after the thicker oil that got stuck in the filter and the pump probably has a harder flow. In any case, I have already ordered a new one and will report the result

Hey guys,what if you sip in a bit over max 80 celsius mark

@fatherandsonfix 5 ай бұрын

You can use the turkey baster to pull a little back out. The amount depends on temperature of the engine. 80 mark is for a warm engine. If you have a warm engine, you need to take a little out, probably not a big deal. If you have a cold engine and you are above the 80 mark, you definitely need to take some out. In general, overfilling puts strain on seals.

Why did you replace the resevoir and did it fix the issue

@fatherandsonfix 3 ай бұрын

Preventive maintenance, there's a filter inside, only way to replace the filter is to replace the reservoir. Some people say it quiets the pump, we didn't notice any major difference.
