Just got back from the dealer after getting a quick oil change. While the car was up on the rack, I took the opportunity to climb under with technician. There was a great deal of PS fluid all over the place (but then a little goes a long way). The technician told me that there is a small piece of tubing that connects the resevoir to the pump, and that he has replaced this many times and it cures the problem. He called it a usual problem in the 124 series.

My concern is all of the dialogue here about 500E PS issues. Is the technician correct, do I just need this $1 piece of hose replaced, or should I have him check for other issues while this is being addressed? The car is Starmarked for one more year.

Thanks

Steve
