Power Steering
I have a 2001 C320 and I have no power steering when the car is at idle or I am not giving it gas. Is the power steering pump going bad or does is just sound like the fluid is low? Thanks for your help and input.

You could have checked your power steering fluid in the time it took to write up this post.

there should be a full line, if there isn't i wouldn't top it off to the lid b/c the result could be messy...

take off the front engine cover.. it clips into the airbox, or where the cover reads "mercedes benz" If you follow those letters towards the front of the car you will see a break in the plastic, this is the front cover. Lift up on the front of it and it should pop out of place. Installing it is tricky, but get the tabs in first that are to the rear most section of the front engine cover.
