I have SBC brakes on my 2002 W211 but don't have SBC Hold as apparently MB didn't put Hold on 211s till 2003. Is there anyway to get this on my car? Is it just a software upgrade?

Hi All, My S211 was parked up for a week at the airport whilst we were on holiday. When I returned to the car, it started up all as normal but when I engaged Drive and release the parking brake, as I lifted my foot from the brake pedal the car DIDN'T begin rolling forward. I ended up...

Hello, just after a bit of advice about the SBC Brake threshold count! I have just recently brought my brother 04' E Class 320CDI which had done about 97k and has been been fully maintained by MB. Last week the a message flashed up (not red) saying that I should visit my local MB dealer to...

Took e class in for a service this morning--2.5 hrs. Recieved phone call computor has locked brakes as SBC pump has reached end of servicable life??? Price £130011 but not to worry its covered by Mercedes warranty for life of vechile Any one else had this or am i being fobbed off, also if i...

I know there have been hundreds of posts on this but having waded through most of them I am still confused. I have just bought a 2002 (52) E Class 270 CDi. Does this early 211 model have SBC Stop or Hold on it or was it introduced later? I ask this because I have tried to get it to work and...

Hi guys, I have a 2004 E270 CDI, I seem to be getting some noise from the SBC pump when I pump the brake a few times, its quite loud... Pointers?

I would not normally cross refer to the "other UK forum" but a member has posted his letter from MBUK refusing goodwill on an E-Class SBC pump replacement. Car is under 5 years old and under 30k miles. As most know, the pump has a 10 year warranty in the USA (see addendum below) - this does...

Took the 211 into Mercedes Edinburgh this morning for a Star diagnosis cos I had mentioned the SBC pump may have sounded slightly more noisy than usual. 1/2 hour later I was told they were not allowing me further use of the car cos said pump had flagged up 'past use-by date'. 15mins and a phone...

Hi All, I have now got the dreaded warning! I have a W211 52 plate 270 diesel, I have had front discs + Pads replaced ( needed doing anyway) and rear are fine. Message still remains, with regards to the SBC I no longer hear it priming when I open the door / flip remote but it primes when...

I had a dreaded "SBC Hold unavailable" on my instruments today. Popped into the nearest dealer for a plug-in check and they say a £280 module needs replacing, which takes ... 3 hours! The brakes work fine, aprt from the (very) handy SBC Hold function, obviously. Is it worth nigh on £700 (with...

Hiya all Been meaning to ask for a while. My SBC hold doesnt come on. when i press the brake hard after the car has stopped it come up with this message, " SBC hold unavailable". i have a star diagnostic print out and there are no faults with the SBC. Its a pre facelift 05 plate car...

I have read the manual for the SBC hold feature many times and I have only ever successfully got it to work once. I hear the pump working away at various times but can never seem to get it to hold. I am pulling up to a stop, applying break lightly, then when i stop pushing the pedal in harder...

Having had my E280CDI Saloon now for two years, I just thought I would pass on my experience of the SBC braking system fitted to this car. I bought the car second hand from MB in Salisbury when it had approx. 10K on the clock. It was an excellent drive, and all went well until I heard some...

Guys Car is UK E270CDI Auto (September 2004) Bit of a long shot but wonder if anyone else has experienced same. My SBC hold function had become intermittent in it's availability and has now stopped working completely. I get a dashboard message saying "SBC Hold Unavailable etc" and it...

I see that reading the new SL sales book that SBC is no more,, so thats it, will Bosch do any more work on it, who knows.. The system used now is the electro hydraulic

Im a bit perplexed with the SBC Hold function on my W211 E270. When the car is stopped either uphill or downhill by simply pressing the brake pedal firmly the SBC Hold function should engage? The problem seems to be sometimes it will work and other times no matter how hard u depress the brake...

My dad has a 2004 E200K and the SBC warning light keeps coming on in the dashboard every time you get in the car (before the ignition is even switched on). He has taken it to the dealers twice and they just say that it is normal, even though it has only just started doing it ! According to the...

Though MB state the you cannot work on the SBC brake sytem without STAR diagnosis, there are two ways that this can be done. The SBC pump has a large multi plug that can be withdrawn, then pumping the brake pedal till it sinks to the floor (10 pumps) it has been done this way with no problems...

Hi, I have just picked up my 03 E500, so far I am very impressed with the gadgets and most importantly the performance. I called MB this afternoon to find out if there is any outstanding work (i.e. recall) which has not been performed on the car and was subsequently told that the SBC pump on...
