I changed my 190D to Mobil1 ATF in the ps pump a couple weeks ago. In the serious cold like we've been having here lately when the car is moving slowly the power steering is noticably quieter than it was before... Sure you probably don't *need* the stuff in there but it can't hurt. I'll admit its a bit pricy, something like $5-$6 a quart but with a filter change and then changing the fluid again at each oil change one quart should last you a long time. One lasted me 2 filter changes and I think 2 or 3 fluid changes when I did oil changes. The fluid in the 190D was nasty, I think it had been adulterated with something else, maybe to quiet the pump down. I figure at the next oil change I'll probably change the filter again. -Curt Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 22:11:58 -0600 From: "LT Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] W123 power steering To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Actually, no, I wasn't baiting you. I am a big believer in putting Mobil 1 in the crankcase but am not yet convinced that it is necessary for some of the other stuff. (Please feel free to convince me to the contrary.) Some folks on here would use nothing but Mobil 1 windshield washer fluid if it were available. (I'd better not see that on the quotes page, Kleb).

I could stare at the wall for hours. One time I'd come home from work and my wrist was really throbbing so I took one. Half an hour later it was still killing me so I took another (the bottle said I could take 2), about 2 minutes later the first one kicked in quickly followed by the second and I was on cloud nine. My wife came home an hour or so later and found me on the floor counting my toes. She was pissed because she'd wanted to go out to dinner but I was in no condition to leave the house...

It's true I wasn't at all productive for the afternoon after the procedure, but what bits of that afternoon I can remember were pretty pleasant. I was flying high, both from the aftereffects of the sedative and from Vicodin. Staring at the wall was oddly entertaining. --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!
