After a (mostly) successful thermostat swap yesterday, today was discs and pads.
Had all the bits ordered from ECP.
First thing I noticed was that no picture or howto that I've seen anywhere looks like the calipers fitted to the front. It was soon pretty clear that the pads I had were not...
Had the dreaded "brake liner wear" come up. Not unexpected as the service sheet suggested new disks at next pad change, and they were low. Question is, Merc oem parts or aftermarket? I don't do track days or prolonged heavy braking! What have other '32 owners done?
Hello
Long time lurker first time poster.
I have been searching the net and on the forum for some tips on keeping down cost of my 2009 pp c63 front discs and pads.
I have been quoted £2k for a pair of front discs by Greenoakes Mercedes in Ascot.
I have looked on gsf...
Hello everyone!
I have had an eventful day, ringing around getting quotes from various places for my pad and disc change.
Called Mercedes-Benz of Coventry, usual price £329 but given the fact that I've been a customer for years, they could do it for £299.
I then tried as many independents...

I have a 15 month old (bought new) Mercedes 250 CDI Cabriolet and been told I need to replace my brake discs and pads after 15,000 miles. The dealer has stated it is fair wear and tear. Has anyne else encountered this problem?
Front brake disc, pads and bearing wheel advisory on MOT.
On the last MOT(which was on 30.08) there is an advisory info which stated that:
002 Front brake disc worn,pitted or scored,but not seriously weakened (3.5.1i)
003 Offside front front wheel bearing has slight play (2.5.A.3c)...
Hi all,
I seem to have racked up a lot more miles lately that I had thought. Must be the fun of driving the thing...
Checking my tyres and pads at the weekend both are looking low. The pads still have plenty of meat left (well under half worn though :-( ) so not a massive hurry to change...
Hi There,
Recently had my E250 CDI(C207) sport serviced at a main dealer. They informed me that the front disks and pads needed replacing. As no light had lit yet, I questioned what was left in the disks and pads, they estimated 2000-3000Km.
I did a search on the forum, doesn't seem to be much...

I have just been reading up on the sbc system.
Does my car have it?
Does this mean its a dealer job to change the pads?
If I don't have it, I assume its the same procedure as changing the pads on any other car?
Brake warning light has come on on the dash. CLS 320cdi
Looking at brake pads there seems to be a vast array of choice from about £20 up to £70.
What should I be fitting?
Does anyone know where I can buy a set of these for a W639 Viano 57 plate?
Google and eBay have failed me!
The original rubber brake pad has worn through and I thought I could replace the set with sports type.
Thanks in advance

Performance pack car and when I bought MB pads for it there is a little leaflet in the box warning about SBC braking system safety issues. Is there ANY chance my car has this system or can I just get on with changing the pads without worrying about limb loss and other issues that require MB to fix??
Sorry to bring this up again but just looking through ECP and noticed they list ATE, Pagid and Textar pads for my 2001 CLK55.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these pads on their W210 E55/W202 C43/W208 CLK55.
I'm really not liking the oem MB items as they're kicking...
