More w210 problems! - hooblah - 06-25-2013
Is it just me this happens to? My 190s off the road atm waiting for some work to get done on it, so I thought id buy something else to tide me over until its up and running again. I bought an e300td and was hoping for some easy hassle-free motoring, but no. Here I am into the 2nd week of ownership with no boost and now my powet steerings packed up (almost). I say 'almost' because it inly works when I turn left. Yes thats right, if I turn right the steering becomes heavy.
Anyone experienced anything similar? What could be the problem? Im guessing its the rack.

I have a w210 and touch wood it's been ok apart from the crank position sensor that went.
They have a dreadfull reliability record, the engine's the best bit by far.

Maybe a better source for non turbo/pump type questions in the UK.

My last boss who was from England use to say touch wood also. I always thought that sounded kinda gay over here we say knock on wood

If you say Knock on Wood over here people start singing Eddie Floyd songs.

Had a 210. Steering rack replacement is a common repair for these cars.

Ok well not a lot I can do about that then! I'll just keep hammering the car until I swap the engine into my 190. Lets hope nothing else breaks!
Thanks for the help guys!
