I just finished replacing my blower motor for the SECOND time. Was lucky enough to get one made in Mexico, a Siemens replacement motor that only lasted 4 years.

So after that big job with 275,000 miles on my 240 (original owner) I guess I will keep her awhile longer. My other problem is my power steering. The car has original steering rack and power steering pump. It is acts like I do not have power steering at low speed turning sharply and there are no noises. It is especially tough to turn when just starting out when the car/engine is cold and the colder the temperature it is worse. Once the car is under way and the engine warms up the power steering runs normal.

I have replaced the fluid using the suction method and it helped a little but not much. So do you think the power steering pump needs to be replaced? If not what else could be the problem?
