power steering filter? really?

Blinker fluid?

NJSPEEDER 02-08-2009 05:29 PM

lol

Although, that would explain why I never hear about MB's with steering issues. Keep the fluid clean and cool

sweetbmxrider 02-08-2009 05:55 PM

how does a filter cool fluid now? xplain!

bobb1589 02-08-2009 06:04 PM

keeps foreign objects out that maybe heat up quicker? lol i dunno

GP99GT 02-08-2009 06:09 PM

if the oil has to travel into a filter and back into the P/S pump, its gonna get cooled off in that process

sweetbmxrider 02-08-2009 06:12 PM

by like a half degree?

GP99GT 02-08-2009 06:21 PM

depends where the filter is

shane27 02-08-2009 06:25 PM

Ever seen an air pump filter from a turbo Porsche? It's basically behind the engine underneath the rear seat- and the German boys had enough audacity to put a sticker on it that says "service monthly". Nevermind that you need to disassmble the entire air intake to get to it...

does not surprise me. my buddy has a few VW's with some weird stuff.

Fun Fact: the 83 GTI rabbit pickup truck was designed by GM and built by VW...figure that one out. My friend has one of a handful of the original diesel ones.

oh well of course!

Fast92RS 02-09-2009 06:31 PM

Yeah most heavy duty trucks have Power steering fluid filters as well. What surprised me was that almost all of the ones Ive seen use Dexron III trans fluid and not reagular power steering fluid.

sweetbmxrider 02-09-2009 06:47 PM

yeah i think a lot of chryslers use atf. vws have a specific fluid.

BigAls87Z28 02-09-2009 09:48 PM

Most germans use a mineral oil basead ps fluid.
Everything else is pretty much interchangeable with ATF.

Savage_Messiah 02-10-2009 02:36 AM

uhmmm I topped off (read: my steering issues were explained by an empty reservoir) with regular prestone PS fluid. Is that bad?

cars typically from 98-present have a lot of steering issues. 163 chassis MLs (early body) even had a recall to replace a hose, and even now the newer ones i believe have a service campaign for replacing the rack. Constantly replacing pumps, reservoir seals, racks, etc. Just a fun fact for you Timmy :lol:

Kasey, youre fine. You may want to look into where all the fluid went though...
