Shin,


?


At bottom of the reservoir is the round filter.? I had the groan too, but not low in fluid.? I flushed it, replaced the filter, used MB fluid when replacing and the groan pretty much went away.? I noticed it most on cold mornings, not during warmer weather.


?


To take out the filter and replace, you remove the nut at the top of the pin after taking off the cap, just be careful not to loose the spring that is under there, it will try and shoot out at you.


?


Markus

Hello everyone.
Recently on my '91 560SEC, the power steering "moans" when I turn it.
I looked at the reservoir and the oil was low so I topped it off.
I pressed on the belt and the belt deflects about 1/2".
I also heard that there is a filter that could be clogged.
Where is this located? Inside the reservoir?
Thanks, you guys are the best
