Been there done that... No Luck... It only mentions the type to be
used must
be MB Power Steering Fluid.

Did a search on this group and found nothing that applies to my
model...
Is it possible that this is not a user servicable fluid?


OK, here's a picture of the 320 engine

Shouldn't it be the black square tank above the pulley with holes?

Not the same engine.. I looked around that site for my engine but the
c230 engine they show is an AMG engine.. and that is not what I have.



Ahhh now I see it... Yes you are right that is where it is.. however on
my
engine there is a plastic cover that blankets most of the engine... How
do I remove that to get to the cap? Also how to I tell the current
level.
At the moment with the plastic cover in place I can not see any dip
stick.
(Please now comments about looking at myself in the mirror!)


Well, do google. It's really your friend. You are one lucky guy.

Here is a site with the *exact* steps:
