Coolant level

This light on my dash came on. Is this the coolant level warning light? My fluid seems okay...

Can someone confirm, what am i to look at next? Is there a sensor which may have failed in the resevoir?

Thanks in advance!

Powersteering fluid

I have a w124.082 e220 estate with sls. Ive recently resealed the power steering box and noticed that its leaking from the cover plate on the steering column side... pretty frustrating. I will probably open it up again and seal the cover with black gasket maker.. but wanting to know why the hell itd be leaking again. What do you think itd be; perhaps i pinched the rubber o ring (not likely i was careful); the box itself is cactus; or perhaps am i using the wrong fluid.

Please see the pic of fluid i used. It compatable with mb 236.3, which i recall in the manual being fine. I know some ppl only use genuine mb but ive also seen many others used aftermarket...

Your opions please!

Driveshaft woes

Hi All. Was replacing both flex discs, transmount and centrebearing for my e220 w124.082. Noticed the u joint was notchy. Asked a drive shaft guy to rebuild the u joint. He said the yoke to the u joint is no good. I sourced a shaft from a e300. Had it lengthened and balanced but the center bearing doesnt fit as the tabs to bolt to the chassis is a different angle. The outter diameter of the bearing housing is also a little bigger and the cradle where it would bolt to will require some modification for it to fit.

The centering of the bearing seems the same. I was going to try bend the tabs and fit it with some modification to the cradle.

Has anyone had success installing an e300 driveshaft to an e220? Its difficult to source a used shaft for an e220.
