is it the atf copper hose below the radiator that works like an atf cooler? even wira auto has it right?
As per the abovementioned. TqIts rubber hose which can withstand high pressure fliud flow..
The model is W211
The hose is at the bottom of the front below the radiator..
What do you guys think could be the cause?
The steering also is a bit heavier at times...
Could it be the fluid not flowing to the pump, could the pressure valve be clogged with dirt?
Probably theres another word for it to replace machining? In cantonese its called "pear" the hose with machine...TS hasn't told what car this is for so until then we can't assume that his car is a 'normal' car since he uses machined power steering hoses.
in this case, u should not bear anymore cost actually, u've come to them wit a problem & they have rectify & solve supposedly, but due to their lack of workmanship & supervision, the same problem occures so they must bare it all,but if they r ur trusted mech, u can give & take the ATF coz it's not all the time u have 2 change it but labour & hose they should bare it all, if not make they remember ur face & next time drive like ur going 2 them but last minute divert 2 opposite shopIs their fault for job not well done. I had a problem with recon air con compressor that leaked, so my mechanic claim another unit and he lost labor charges because he had to do a second time around for free.....:rolleyes:

Air con hoses are under high pressure, that is why these hoses are machined. They do have ready made but sometimes due to their length...
As for power steering, none of my cars are with machined hoses. Just normal hoses with clips....:hmmmm:
Yup, they should honor their own work.in this case, u should not bear anymore cost actually, u've come to them wit a problem & they have rectify & solve supposedly, but due to their lack of workmanship & supervision, the same problem occures so they must bare it all,but if they r ur trusted mech, u can give & take the ATF coz it's not all the time u have 2 change it but labour & hose they should bare it all, if not make they remember ur face & next time drive like ur going 2 them but last minute divert 2 opposite shop
Should be outside shop, since they need to "pear" fabricate the hoses. If official shop, they should have original hoses...:rolleyes:shouldn't MBSA be in full responsibility of handling all spareparts and reliability of parts? From my understanding, MBSA customers just send in their car's(some cases, service assistants come collect car and owner close eye even b4 car reaches service centre) n close eye...everything handled by the customer service assistants aka customer service mangers.. any failures caused by faulty replacements are claimable to MBSA. even taxi fares due to failures of vehicle due faulty spareparts.
TS...which workshop u sent yr W211 to? MBSA needs to be informed of this failure from usage of failing spareparts.
TS...sorry but i assumed that yr w211 was sent to an official MBSA workshop...please confirm that yr car was sent to an MBSA workshop?
Depends on your car. If your model is say budget model that comes without the power steering and there is a premium model with power steering, you can source for one from premium model to fit into yours or from half cut shop if they have.sifuses aaarrrr, since we're in power steering, if a car does not have power steer, can it be installed coz my mech said cannot:hmmmm::shot:
in this case there goes the opt for my 660 unless my cut engine from jap can install 1, think i'll wait till i have the moolah & upgrade to 1.0 as planned.Depends on your car. If your model is say budget model that comes without the power steering and there is a premium model with power steering, you can source for one from premium model to fit into yours or from half cut shop if they have.
Of course if your model is a lone model then cannot fit in....
