    Check and fill the reservoir. If you ran it dry, pray that you did not destroy the rams in the process....Hopefully it is not completely dry.

    Apparently...I have seen shops that claim to fix the one's for Mercedes....doubt they are any different.

    NOTE, I am NOT endorsing this company, just noting that they can rebuild these rams/cylinders, so it must be possible.
