84 300SD power steering trouble

howdy. i have an 84 300sd. i have changed and purged the power steering fluid using instructions and filter from mercedes source. when i turn the steering wheel, the car makes a loud squeaky/grating sound. louder as the ends of the turning radius are reached. it's like the oil is not circulating and everything is dry. the reservoir is foamy on top . what's happening? matt

Veggie tank faulty Sending Unit

i'm having some trouble with my sending unit in the veg tank. when the gauge reads half it is actually empty. does anyone have experience with this problem? i'm sure i could take the tank out and clean the unit, but i'd rather not. maybe i could fill the tank with diesel or biodiesel and that would clean out the gunk in the sending unit. thanks matt
