Quick question about P/S fluid

car is a '90 190E.

I got a qt of M-B P/S fluid ($$$!). Can I add that in to my P/S resevoir with unknown fluid inside? I don't know if ATF is in there. Is M-B fluid okay for older models? Also, just to make sure, to access the resevoir, I unscrew the black knob and lift up the lid? Thanks.

Question New to MB and have question on 1992 190e

I found this website and was hoping some one could help. I just purchased my first MB. Its a 1992 190e 2.3 with 90,000 miles. The heater is working but the two center vents are blowing cold air. I assume that they stuck on vent. Any suggestions?

That's okay, dudly. Your 190E heating is working just fine. My '90 190E does the same thing. The center vents do not blow hot air, just the side vents. You have to close them the center vents if you just want hot air. I was told by the salesperson that all M-B do that, or at least the older models. I think the 300E does too. Yeah, I thought something was wrong with the heater when I was testing all the functions. It's normal. Maybe someone can confirm this?

Btw, I hope you enjoy your 190E. It's one of my favorite M-B models.

On the 300E / E320, the centre vents will indeed blow some warm air, but only 'intermittently' or 'periodically', 'depending on the interior temperature' -- that's what the manual says.

On my E320, I'm certain warm air blows from the centre vents, just not really sure how intermittent it really is.

Yeah, just unscrew the black knob and the cap should lift off. You can probably add regular P/S fluid in there, it should be fine. If you want, you can try blotting some old fluid onto a white paper towel, if it's ATF you should get a red tint even if the fluid is really dirty. Regular P/S fluid is clear.
