Upper Power Steering Pump Return Hose, HELP PLEASE !!
Several weeks ago I removed the upper return hose of the power steering pump resivoir (190/yellow). First question is what does the end w/ the arrow pointing connect to? Second questions is if it is the green part, where is that? Is it the plastic port right next to the windshield washer resivior??
After searching the vehicle high & low in addition to hours of web research I found minimal information on this specific hose. I would sincerely appreciate any information that helps me finally get this job done!
Car Specifications:
2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATIC, 203.081, 112.916
1) Where does the end of the upper power steering pump (w/arrow pointing) connect to?
2) What part highlighted green? Is it the port next to the windshield washing fluid?

So after disconnecting the hose, you can't remember where it goes? (Ok, we won't laugh because we've all been there ))
Try finding the heat exchanger (#220 in the diagram). Its bigger and harder to miss. Maybe near the radiator. Retrace the tubing until you get to the end.
Alternatively, start 'er up and see where the fluid gushes out. You might have to wiggle the steering wheel to work the pump. Besides making a mess, it won't hurt anything.
