sbc

Due to a kind member on here I am now able to re-set these faults with a Star. I did one today and it worked perfectly. No warnings are currently showing at all. BBA charge £575+vat for this.:eek::eek::eek: I can do it much cheaper for members on here.:p:D

I've noticed recently that there seems to be a few members, new and old, that are starting to get trouble with their SBC pump mostly on W211's (also on the R230, W219 & Maybachs iirc) Up to a certain time ago, it seemed as though Mercedes were willing to realise the inherent problem of...

Help! I am new to the forum and really need some serious help and advice. A couple of weeks ago, a warning message appeared on my dash "Service Brake Visit Workshop". It was a white consumer message, not a red flashing warning. Having driven 700 or so miles with this message on due to...

Hi All, The "Brake Service" indicator has been coming on and off since I purchased the car. My mechanic tells me that the brake pads have been changed by the previous owner but the job was not done properly!! Apparently the caliper should not have been manually wound! Any way...long...

Spotted this on Ebay just now. Reading the 'Bad points' in the description I'm wondering if the seller has priced low to avoid a £2k bill for a new pump? 2003 MERCEDES E55K E55 AMG AUTO BLACK W211 | eBay

Hi all.. Got an odd one here and i hope someone has had similar and its not terminal... Right...I have a 2004 S211 E320cdi AG est.. In May this year i had a brake warning light come up on the dash and booked it into my local indy to have the front pads changed as they were an advisory on the...

The E55 is the first automatic I've ever owned so this isn't something I've had to think about before... How long should you use SBC H for? Is it better in some situations to put it in Park instead of leaving it in Drive with SBC H engaged, e.g. if you're stopped at traffic lights for more than...

I've just read in another thread that the lovely but complex SBC braking system was discontinued from mid-2006ish on the W211. Was this also the case for the W219 CLS? I have a Dec 2007 model and have the "Hold" feature (sharp tap on the brake pedal at the lights keeps the brakes on). Is...

Had the dreaded message come up on the screen today :eek: Service Brake - visit workshop or words to that effect. The brakes still seem to work OK still but I can't say I've heard the pump go at all either :confused: Pads and Disks are all in good shape so I'm assuming it's the SBC counter...

SBC Hold works fine on my car but i cannot get SBC Stop to work, according to the handbook you just use the cruise lever to activate but all i get is the cruise activating. where am i going wrong or is there a fault.

Hi, i've just joined, i have a 2005 mercedes E270 cdi, it has 97,000 miles, i've been told by a few people that mercedes have a recall on the sbc unit, and will replace it free of charge, i had the car code read and it came up with sbc exceeded life time limits or something along those lines. i...

Bought a 2003 E350CDI earlier in the new year but unfortunately it's been in the dealers workshop, (a well known multi-franchise trade centre) for longer than its been on my drive getting a 'service brake - visit workshop' code sorted out!! Have scanned the forum and don't like what I see...

Hi Folks Whilst driving in my car today a malfunction popped up saying that service break. I have been told this is something to do with the SBC, and this part could be replace by dealership. Has anyone had a similar problem? Please assist! Many thanks Adam:devil:

Well the E320 CDI is going in tomorrow for a new SBC pump under warranty. I shall report back on Friday. The nice salesman is giving my wife an ML for the day cos he heard her ask me in the dealership "can I have this one ?" while pointing at a Grand Edition...lucky me she'll love it and I'll...

A question about the ABS function in the SBC system. If you have to brake sufficiently hard to activate the antilock function, does the SBC system still judder the brake pedal to let you know? The reason I ask is that a couple of weeks ago I had occasion to brake sharply and I could hear tyres...

After using my w211 3 times, since a B service. Which included a brake fluid change. On applying the slightist touch to the brake pedal, I'm getting a very annoying sound. It's not easy to discribe. Other than, a squelchey release of fluid or air. Or something that needs oiling. The sound...

Hi. I hear some buzzing during run, like SBC pump. Buzzing is not periodical is not related with accelerator pedal level, not even with running speed of the car but buzzing is present during run (not continuously). My question is: do normally SBC pump works while the car is running in certain...
