Preston
04 Sprinter, 118" Cargo
I started my 04' T1N 118" the other day and I heard a pop from the engine. A new high pitched whistle started immediately... After some inspection and some research, it seemed the noise was coming from the power steering reservoir. When I drove off, I had no power steering...
My local Mercedes mechanic suggested that we start by replacing just the reservoir. Then if that didn't fix it, we'd need to replace the pump as well. He's not a sprinter guy, but he did say that was a fix for sedans. The filter inside the reservoir breaks and rattles inside and could make a whistle and could prevent fluid from exiting.
Has anyone had this problem before? Does it seem like the right fix? If so, where is a good place to purchase the parts?
Thanks in advance.
