My 2000 W215 is currently being serviced and the dealer phoned me to say there is a noise from the steering pump. They said the cheapest option at £157 inc parts, labour and VAT, is to replace the damper.
They still held out the possibility this may not solve the problem and the pump may need replacing. Whilst I appreciate them trying to save me money it strikes me that, should the pump need replacing I've spent £157 needlessly. Anyone have any experience of this? How often does replacing the damper solve the problem or would that just be wasting my money?
