deferred maintenance
Picked up 2002 C230K Coupe -- cheap, 166k miles, with issues. Fixed some visible stuff, like broken rear springs and turn signal light in the mirror not working. But sure that any serious preventive maintenance has not been done. And I'm new to Mercedes. Following the board has taught me a lot, but most discussion has been for engines other than 111.
Does the supercharger on this engine need any care other than engine oil changes?
I see a little blow by at the dipstick. Is there a crankcase vent valve or oil separator to check?
Would like to change power steering fluid as the pump growls a little. Is there a low point to drain it, like hose connection to the rack?
Thanks for putting up with my questions.
