I just did the power steering flush on the W126 as described in many articles on forum. I didn't use the turkey baster method, by the way. The instructions were quite sufficient and the process was pretty smooth.

After priming the p/s with a small amt of new fluid and flushing 3 times, I filled it up all the way and turned on the engine. The color was a little bit better after each flush. Then the new filter went in. Also, I used MB p/s fluid.

OK, it looks better than original fluid before tonight's main event in the garage, but I can't see the bottom.

Can anyone give feedback on whether or not we should flush and flush and flush until the cows come home and we can see the filter with the resevoir topped off?

Or is it OK that the fluid is once again the color of weak coffee?

Thanks.
