    Wanting to replace the power steering fluid in my s203, 220CDI facelift from 2007

    From my research, the fluid should follow this specification: MB 345.0 A001 989 24 03 If that is the case, this liquid should be good?: https://www.autodoc24.ro/febi-bilstein/1879380 Also, any tips on the procedure? Can this be done at home? Thanks!
