Mercedes-Benz E-Class — 电动转向

W212 E200/E250 base variants use hydraulic power steering with a rack and pinion. The hydraulic rack seal is a known failure — fluid leaks into the rack bellows and eventually drips onto the subframe. W213 is full EPS across all variants. Hydraulic W212 rack replacement reconditioned.

Mercedes-Benz has transitioned from hydraulic to Electric Power Steering (EPS) across most models from 2011+. EPS is maintenance-free with no fluid to change. Common EPS issues in Malaysia: (1) Steering vibration — often a wheel balance or suspension bushing issue, not the EPS itself; (2) EPS warning light — usually a sensor fault, diagnosable with XENTRY or Autel; (3) Intermittent heavy steering — typically low battery voltage reducing EPS assist. For older W204 models with hydraulic steering, check fluid level and flush every 2 years. EPS rack replacement costs .
