Mercedes EPS — Malaysia Maintenance
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 RM 1,500–3,500.
