I had the same problem last winter when the temps dropped.
Flushed the PS fluid with some MB fluid and the whine went away.
Most people never flush their PS fluid but they should every few years. Also a lot of cars have a filter in their. I know the S320's do.

where is the power steering filter located in 1998 S320? I was trying to order from Autohausaz, and the picture looks like, that filter could be in pump, and in other website of rockauto.com has different pic., I haven't look through in power steering reservoir. Is it easy to replace filter in power steering?
