c200cdi too many problems for one owner

Hello!This is my first post here so i start to introduce myself:my name is Andrei and i'm from Romania,i drive an w203 c200cdi 85kw om611.I buy this car 2 mounths ago at a low price and i know i'l have some problems and i start to enumerate some of the badest here maybe u can help...after a fast cruise when i want to park the car the steering feels so heavy at almost full lock...i changed powersteering fluid with pentosin chf 11s but still when the engine runs hot it starts to fade.So i think i need a new powersteering pump(these pumps can be rebuilded?)Next...when i bought the car the central locking was not and still not working..when i press the key or console button the hazard lights come and only the fuel door and truck lock/unlock.The star shows that every door computer send command to open or close the door....pretty strage...after powersteering pump was almost dead..the right fr. door got locked up...if i pull the inside handle...the door pin raises about 3-5mm and thats all....how the hell should i open the door to replace/repair the door lock???3rd problem...the car is used in city majority of time but when i take it to an 1hour outside run the car limps .on star i have the...p1470-016 charge press. too low...i see also that the oil separator have oil near them(i want to clean him in this weekend) and the hose that come out of intercooler have some oil (i see it with car raised).How can i eliminate these oil leaks...some advices are much appreciate...another problem of the endless ones i changed brake light switch(don't ask why) with trucktek manufacturer one and some then the bas

today..i haved some spare time and despite outside temperature i cleaned the oil separator that have some fresh oil near him...after i removed the oil separator i saw that the larger gasket was cautch outside position and was pressed like that...and that's the reason of the leak...i want to clean the egr valve too but the cold installed and skipped to the right problematic locked door.....i somehow managed to remove a part of doorpanel and remove the rubber seal from door actuator....still no joy of unlocking and i have to buy a new door lock and a door panel Another problem was the intercooler pipe from intercooler to egr...i see some oil leaks there but is hard to clean and see the problem...for that problem i'l go to a service to raise the car up and see what's the problem.
