I will change the fluid as recommended first. I guess I will have to use the syringe method and repeat the procedure 2-3 times. I do not feel any difference in the steering stiffness on cold days versus hot days. It is possible that there may be some sort of constriction in the fluid path, perhaps resulting from "sludge", however the fluid is very clear when sampled with the small dip-stick. Given the prices of 7 yr old E320s, I do not feel like spending a lot of money on this as I can manouvre the car OK, its just that the steering is a little stiff.
