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

[danielw203220cdi]

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?:

Also, any tips on the procedure? Can this be done at home?

Thanks!

easiest way to replace the power steering fluid on any car is to suck out of the reservoir as much as you can & refill with new fluid, start car & turn steering from lock to lock a few times ..... repeat a few times until the fluid is noticeably clearer.

no idea of what fluid is correct

Proper way to replace the power steering fluid on any car is to raise front end so wheels free. Siphon off as much fluid as possible. Brimm tank. remove return pipe at reservoir with end to a waste. Turn steering lock to lock about 5 times while filling the reservoir. Dont let resevoir go dry. This will flush the system.
Replace return and set fluid level.

enjoy steering that feels much lighter.

Anything can be done at home with the right tools and knowledge!

I did it this way

CLK200 Power Steering Fluid first change

Thought I would post a couple of pics of changing the power steering fluid , I did the E class yesterday but did not take any car pics . Jacked the car up at the front , disconnected the return flow pipe near the bulkhead which was MUCH easier than my OM642 , nothing was in the way . I then used...

Do it once - do it right

I gave the easy answer/method considering that Daniel asked if it was a task that could be carried out at home

Calm down me old.
I was just saying the best way. As mentioned with the right tools all is possible. Beyond your method and that proposed all thats needed is axle stands and a jack. So doable at home surely.
