braking

I've noticed over the previous 2weeks that I'm getting a rumbling sensation/slight judder when braking - when you press the brake pedal it's a feeling akin to driving over small rumble strips! The problem starts when braking at over 40mph, is worse the higher the speed and is most noticeable on...

Good evening all. Any ideas what would cause the ABS to activate itself while driving ? Pulled of from a parked position yesterday and the EsP light starts flashing followed by a clonking noise from the brakes and the car starts juddering. Could only get it to stop when i turned the ESP off...

Hi I wonder if anyone can tell me if my car has adaptive braking? The manual mentions it and from what I've seen on YouTube, it's a very neat idea. I have only "hit the brakes" twice since owning the car and although it stopped very quickly, I wonder if that was me pressing the brake pedal or...

Hello all MB enthusiasts. Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem with my car brakes. 1st of all its a 1996 C180. Last week I changed the front brake pads and discs, as well as this, I replaced both front calipers for peace of mind. Since then it's been a little bit of a...

Wonder if anyone can advize, I have just test driven a C180 stop start blueefficiency 2012, and left a deposit, but on braking I noticed that they are very sensitive and any over pressure brings car to sudden stop. The private seller assures me that I am applying brakes too sharply, and he has...

I was driving my W123 300d (non-ABS) on the A13 today and after about an hour of driving at 65+ mph, I experienced a sudden loss of brake assist/ boost. Here is all the information I have: The pedal depressed much further than usual repeatedly before any braking took place Pumping repeatedly...

having just had the front ABS rings/bearings replaced l noticed a clunking sound under braking and again when releasing the brake pedal, mainly at low speeds. Checked pads, calipers tight...turned out to be the top ball joint & bush perished! 20 minute job & £45...funny enough the other side had...

Ideas please: My 560 SEC is lurching quite violently to the right under braking, the harder i brake the more it lurches. This afternoon on a test run, it even skidded/wheels locked up and ABS did not kick in (this was braking very hard at 60 mph). It was doing this a little before, and I...

Hi I'm a new S211 owner (320 cdi sport). I've just had the car in for an A service (62k miles) and to replace some faults found - front bushings/arms and a few other items. I now notice a noise from the rear. I can repeat consistently by stopping, letting the car pull away forwards for about...

After about 5 miles or so of driving, I'm getting a judder from the NS rear wheel which sounds as though the wheel is about to come off. Upon inspection the disc is red hot (as in glowing). Once 'hot' it's there all the time, whether driving or braking. I'm all set to buy new discs and pads but...

Evening all, I post seeking for some advice and possible pointers. I'm currently going through a month of weekend works with the C250CDi, just to remedy some niggly problems- Last weekend was spent sorting out an oil leak from the Breather Pipe, that was seeping oil past the push fit pipes...

Odd one. Every now and then I get the sensor red light display going off and alert sounding briefly when I brake or hit a slight pot hole or dip. I know I have an issue with a couple of duff sensors, they're being replaced soon. Are the two things related?

Hi, a few days ago I felt a front left clunk when braking suddenly at low speed, while another car surges from a private entrance... Thought it may be something loose because days before I had both the control arms replaced at that wheel suspension... lifted up the car, checked every bolt...

This morning on the way to work I had an issue where under braking and declutching to approach a roundabout ALL the lights on the dash flashed on briefly. Didn't affect the engine running as far as I could tell - no stutter. It happened again at the next roundabout but then was fine after...

Hello all, I have a w203 C Class Station C220 CDI and recently have been noticing a braking vibration when rolling @ speeds over 140km/h... sometimes it can get quite unpleasent, regarding all the confort felt while riding to the moment... we are rolling on a cloud and suddently all begins to...

Hi all, Had an issue with the brakes a couple of months back, basically I broke from a highish speed off a motorway junction without issue, then came to the next roundabout and went to brake and the pedal went close to the floor, needing allot more pressure to slow down. Thinking it was...

I'm getting judder under braking on my 2011 C63. New front discs and pads fitted which helped but haven't cured the issue. Any ideas?

Purchased my S210 (2001) with 102k miles on the clock 6 days ago and have been merrily coming to terms with the size of the beast etc. It rained today so very pleased (startled) by the auto windscreen wipe (I wasn't expecting it !). Anyway last night I had an 'eventful' drive 20 miles out of...

Tapping the collective brains for wisdom... This is similar to other posts but not identical hence the new thread. Symptoms: Excessive judder when braking from motorway speeds - I think left front but couldn't swear to it. Some feedback through the steering wheel but mostly through the body...

Over the last week I have noticed a vibration through the steering wheel when braking but only under light braking. I think it is likely to be a tyre slightly out of round due to the number of potholes around here as I have had this symptom before but in that case it was only at lower speeds <...
