Need to change power steering fluid. What is recommended fluid for a w203? I look at the engine and not sure where the filling cap is. Is it the black star cap next to engine on driver side. Can anyone please send me photo and location?

Thanks

Sorry guys. I still can't understand the location. Has anyone got photo or front view image showing the engine and where the power steering fluid cap is placed on the engine?

I'm sure I would be able to find it if I knew what a top right pulley is. Please don't hung up on me, I'm honest. I have no knowledge and fear to place fluid in wrong place. An explicit pic would do wonders.

Thanks

This is impossible to put up a picture as the forum is under going a face lift.

I have given you a picture of what it looks like, as you have to buy some fluid, why not ask at a MB outlet.

I can see a filler cap with a short dipstick next to engine on driver's side. The dipstick has two marks 80c temp and 20c temp. Could this be the one or is there another short dipstick with the ame measures?

Many Thanks
