My power steering pump is leaking. I would like to replace the seal. In the parts catalogue, there are two pump model. ie with and without self leveling. Question is:
How do I know which steering pump I have in my car?
Is the power steering pump repair kit the same for pump with and without self leveling?
My car is a 1992 W140 with 119 engine.
Appreciate your help.
Regards.

 

I assume that self leveling refers to the suspension and two different pumps were used based on suspension choice. I have never heard of self leveling steering. Do you have a self leveling suspension? You will need to confirm my guess before you decide on a repair. A quick call to the dealer might clear things up but often times they don't know $hit from shinola.

 

Thanks. Will check tomorrow if there is a self leveling suspension.

 

Thanks II king. I check it myself and confirm the suspension is not self leveling.

 

Open the hood lift the little access cover on the drivers side front fender behind the headlamp door, if you find a container with a plastic ring and a rubber dipstick you have self leveling. I think it was on alll 140s except the basic model. The powers steering pump was tandem, serving both.
