Recomended Power steering fluid (W203. C240. 2002)
Thanks a lot guys.
As i found out the fluid CHF-11S has DARK GREEN color, but in my car there is RED color. i took a sample from my car for analysis and..yes it is ATF TQ DIII. I've add DIII already and there is no more sound from steering gear.
i just want to mention that i have bought this car 1,5 years ago and & it was my first time problem with steering gear.
But if CSF-11S is most suitable fluid for my car... i've no idea why there is DIII?
Will DIII harm my steering mechanism???

DIII will work OK for a while but it is the wrong fluid. I would flush it out and use the correct stuff.

Thanks a lot for your advice Glyn M Ruck.
U r right, i don't need additional problems, so i'll flush it out as u advice and replace with a correct one.
