One way to fix a slow steering return on a Mercedes SLK 350 is to add more power steering fluid. Another option is to replace the steering wheel lock sensor.
the steering column tilt and telescoping lock does not keep wheel in place. How do I fix this ?
Steering wheels are generally locked from the ignition switch. It is supposed to lock only in the OFF position. If you steering locks in any other key position, you likely have a problem with the linkage rod or cable that connects the ignition lock cylinder to the steering column. You have to take apart the dash and possibly the steering column to fix this.
Don't know...but there are problems with the ignition lock tumblers wearing. Quick fix for a stuck key is to tap the lock while trying to turn the key. This will allow tumblers to fall into place so the key will turn. This fix will get you home, but not fix the problem. To fix permanently, disconnect power to car, remove dash trim below the steering wheel and remove enough screws to lift upper dash around steering wheel to expose key lock. Turn key to on position and depress tab in lock cylinder collar and pull lock cylinder and key out of car. Take lock cylinder to locksmith for new tumblers ( it cost me $12). Replace lock cylinder and put dash back together.

if you move the key counter clockwise, or towards you, it locks. Hold the steering wheel to the left, towards the driver door, and turn the key forward. good luck.
