While not 'Benz' specific, the crunching noise, if it goes away after one or two brake applications, could be just a small bit of rust that formed on the brake disc. My Jeep will do that, especially if I park it after driving in the rain, and not drive it again for a couple days.
As far as the steering goes, it would make sense that if the fluid is really cold, it may take a little extra steering effort until the fluid warms up. I would think it would have to be real cold though. Here in seattle, it doesn't get that cold, so I haven't really experienced the problem you have. Hope this helps a little. I'm sure some other MB folks will chime in.

I obviously have a leak somewhere because I keep vacuuming out the area behind my passenger seat. We're due for a lot of rain, so if someone has a suggestions on how/where to check and see if I have a clog or leak, that would be great!

Folks,
I am considering buying a 2004 MB C240 4Matic with 43,000 miles on it.
What, if any, negative experiences have people had with this model?
What is the most frequent repair issue that has come up with this car?
All responses appreciated!
Thanks.
