power steering on a 1998 ml320

Hey I recently purchased an 1998 ml320 off of a friend and it has a power steering problem. I think the pump needs to be replaced. I have recently read up on a couple forums that there was a recall on this. Am I still eligeable to have this fixed at the mb dealer? Please inform me on this thank you!

Call up your local dealer, give them VIN and they should be able to tell you

What kind of PS problem you have?

For anything other than the old recall for a hose clamp there is no warranty left on your 12 year old car. What gave you the thoughts that you could get it done at a dealers for free. Certainly a dealer will fix it but its going to be on your nickle.

Most issues are caused by the leaking hose...fuild gets low...causes problems with the pump itself. I had to replace my pump for $160...stealer replaced the hose too. Its def a job you can do yourself...there are a ton of DIYs on this site.
