    S212 Corroded Brake Line

    The car is on the ramp I've read somewhere on the forums that itcould be trapped air between the master cylinder and abs pump. We'll see my friend is gonna pressure bleed it today ...fingers crossed.

    S212 Corroded Brake Line

    Just an update. We lowered the subframe down a bit and managed to make new pipes from cupronickel. Went to bleed the car...the rear brakes can't be bled. There's slight little stream when you open the nipple. Tried gravity bleeding, using the launch to cycle the abs, bleeding at abs pump. Our...

    2012 S212 E350 tyre size

    Hey thanks for all the replies much appreciated still haven't decided I understand Mercedes states 275/30/19 on the rear, however like 'JHS' said drive will be harsh. I'm going on a long journey. 🤔

    2012 S212 E350 tyre size

    I'm just wondering what was the original Mercedes recommended tyre size for 19" alloys for this car. Should I lift the tyre profile on the front or lower the rear

    2012 S212 E350 tyre size

    Hi everyone I have recently upgraded my rim sim seize form 18" to 19". I have 245/35/19 on the front and 275/35/19 on the rear but the car looks like a drag racer. High on the rear and low on front. Have I got the right tyre size on the front?

    S212 Corroded Brake Line

    It's an idea...but I have my head set on just cutting where the pipe is rusty and just doing the rears rather then complete from back to front to the abs module. Has to at least drop the subframe a bit and maybe fuel tank.

    S212 Corroded Brake Line

    Thanks Scottish, Thanks Scottish, wish mine was corroded at that location...and the corrosion on mine is worse then that!! I'll get some pics of it on the weekend. In the meantime I'll see if I can find the routing of the brake lines online.

    S212 Corroded Brake Line

    That's correct '190' it is hard to see let alone access... I had just serviced the bloody thing because I'm going away on a long 2 day driving trip. Fuel filter was a b**** to change but that's another story. So if I was to undertake the job myself (I have a friend who can let me use his lift)...

    S212 Corroded Brake Line

    Hey everyone as mentioned I have a really bad corroded Brake Line. Which in hindsight don't seem bad to do 😔...but the brake line that's corroded is above the whole suspension and to do it looks like you have to drop the complete rear suspension and probably fuel tank to get access to it...
