Mercedes 380SEL power steering pump typically cost between $262.99 and $262.99.
The Mercedes 380SEL power steering pump is a component of the power steering system in the Mercedes-Benz 380SEL model. It is responsible for increasing the hydraulic pressure in the power steering system, allowing for easier steering and control of the vehicle. The power steering pump works by using a belt-driven fan to push hydraulic fluid through the power steering system, creating pressurized fluid that helps turn the wheels. If the power steering pump fails or malfunctions, it can cause difficulty steering and may require replacement.
Signs of a Faulty Mercedes 380SEL Power Steering Pump
Some of the most common signs of a faulty Mercedes 380SEL power steering pump include:
- Whining or grinding noise when turning the steering wheel
- Difficulty in turning the steering wheel, especially at low speeds
- Steering wheel may feel stiff and unresponsive
- Leaking power steering fluid under the vehicle
- Reduced fuel efficiency due to increased load on the engine caused by a failing power steering pump.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your power steering pump inspected and potentially replaced by a licensed mechanic.
Mercedes 380SEL Power Steering Pump - Post-Installation Tips
Here are the steps that should be followed after installing a new Mercedes 380SEL power steering pump:
- Check the power steering fluid level: After installing the new power steering pump, you should check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir. The level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
- Bleed the power steering system: To remove any air from the power steering system, you need to bleed it. To do this, turn the steering wheel back and forth several times while the engine is running. Repeat this process until the steering feels smooth and there are no more air bubbles in the system.
- Check for leaks: After bleeding the power steering system, inspect the area around the power steering pump and hoses for any signs of leaks. If you notice any leaks, tighten the fittings or replace the damaged parts as needed.
- Test the power steering system: Take your car for a short test drive and pay attention to how the steering feels. If everything is working properly, the steering should be smooth and responsive. If you notice any problems, such as stiffness or noise, you should investigate further to identify the cause.
- Monitor the power steering fluid level: After driving your car for a few days, check the power steering fluid level again. If the level has dropped significantly, you may have a leak that needs to be repaired.
