Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, having bought my 1st Mercedes at the age of 31 Anyway I have bought a E320 CDI Avantgarde with 84k - I must say having Audi & BMW before I am well impressed with the Merc
I have only had it 5 days and I have noticed that when I start the car up 1st thing in the morning the steering makes a loud whinning noise and this goes away as the car gets warm and is driven. I have also realised the car is leaking steering fluid. I took the car today to a local garage to have it checked on a ramp.
The mechanic advised me that the leak is coming from the steering rack and that it would need replacing. I just wanted to ask you all if this is usually the case or can this be something else?
The leak does seem quite bad and the whinning noise is getting louder. Do you know of any specialist local to West Yorkshire?
Thanks.
