If your petrol run car tends to balk and there doesn't seem to be a mechanical problem, it's probably water in the petrol tank. Pour a couple of cups of denatured alcohol into the tank. The alcohol will absorb the water and it will burn just like petrol. Water in the system can cause other problems as well, but mixed with alcohol, it actually boosts the engines power in the right mixture. That trick was used in airplanes during WW1 If I remember correctly. It was misted into the air intake in just the right amount. It also works with cars, but finding the equipment is difficult. The engines "horse power" will rise noticeably, you will need less petrol and it keeps your engine parts clean. Too much water and it won't run properly. Jim Hart
What useless answers so far!
SPECIFICALLY: I needed to know the answer to this same question, where the power steering fluid dipstick/reservoir is on my 2012 C250. Today, I stopped into the dealership to ask them, and it was as I suspected: it is mounted about level with the top of the engine, in between the engine and the antifreeze reservoir, which is above the passenger-side wheel well. It has a little dipstick in it that says "Full 50°C" and "Full 20°C". It is not labeled in any way, nor is power steering fluid even mentioned in any of the owners manuals, which defies logic.
Mine is low, and I can't seem to find online which type of fluid to put in it, so I'll probably be back at MB to just buy theirs.
