It REALLY ticks me off when companies are so greedy that they forget about the customer.... Case in point: My wife's W140 developed a TINY leak in the Front Shaft Seal of the Power Steering pump. Since it drives me NUTS to have orange PS fluid on my nice white floors, I decided to finally deal with it.... So, lets look in the EPC to find a repair/seal kit... NONE!! Ok, says I, thinking I'm sooo smart, I will track down the manufacturer (ZF Pumps) in Germany..... and write them.... "Oh, no, we don't sell seal kits... you have to purchase a WHOLE NEW PUMP!!!" What sort of idiot company builds pumps but NO seals to service it??!! Hmmmm, this means war.... After numerous routes, I FINALLY track down a BMW part number for a "similar" pump.. yada yada ya...... I finally found a company who makes a seal kit for $12 Bucks!!! Ha!! I win the war MB/ZF!!! No need to buy your silly $500 Pump, all for a stupid $1 front seal!! Anyway, here is a Step-by-Step on how to do your own repair. Here's the how to for V-Belt R/R: http://www.pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.php?tid=14297&po...
