For anyone interested in attempting the power-steering fluid flush. You can DIY a extractor pump with a blow up mattress pump and a 5L bottle, as pictured below. the process followed is:
1. Open reservoir, drain as much much fluid as possible.
2. Top up with new fluid, start car turn steering left and right a few times, turn off car.
3. Repeat step 1 & 2 above
By the 3rd time you will see the colour of the fluid changes from brown, to (in my case) red.
I havent had much time to drive the past few weeks, and to make matters worse my SO is abroad for 6 months, so I am driving the F25 every now and then too.
With that said, car is happy and pulling strong. Since loading SW a few weeks back I have noticed the following (over and above the increased power):
1. Diesel consumption is somewhat lower. Most noticeable in town. I have yet to confirm, but OBC is reporting up to 1L per 100km lower.
2. Throttle response is increased drastically. To such a point where you have to concentrate not to be hesitant on the accelerator pedal, as any movement will be met with a instant response. Previously the accelerator pedal felt much more "vague". its almost as if there was a lot more play in the pedal.
3. Together with the DP & mid box delete, the 330d doesn't really sound like a diesel anymore (see my video few pages back). On WOT, the sound is even deeper and chunky!
Ill make a detailed video in due time! :thumbs:
