SOS SOS SOS so as some of you may know, NY got hit with some pretty fun snow. Like any reasonable car owner I took it upon myself to go to a parking lot and partake in some donuts. Now all of a sudden my cars steering is pretty much non existent, as if there is no power steering! Any reasons as to why? How do I fix it? PLEASE HELP ME

What is the likely hood considering the attached video do you think I f'ed up the power steering pump? Just checked the fluid they are very low.

Fill the fluid up & turn steering lock to lock quite a few times. It should re prime the system. Best to do it on ice or jack up the front so not to damage the system.

I have read here that donutting causes steering failures.Look up the search feature for details.

Update: So mechanic took a look at it before I bring it over to Mercedes, 100% blew power steering pump. Quoted me at $975 USD to fix. Thank god its covered under warranty, hopefully I get her back by Monday. Thanks for the help guys!

Being frivolous in a German car is verboten...such a pity.

No such restrictions at country dances in the sixties & seventies with no power steering. !!
