Thanks Slipped to mention mine is a 126 300SE . I had to refill ATF at one time until I got the correct colourless power steering fluid. I have drained it acouple of times but still the red colour stays on indicating all has not been replaced. will give it one more go tomorrow. regards mak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marshall Booth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 10:39 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Pwr Steering fluids
