Sbc braking system or not?

[IFFY100]

My vin shows no sbc and inspection of the braking confirms this but the dealer said it defo has sbc, please check the images and confirm

Normal servo brakes those. A 2010 car won't have sbc it was phased out in 2007 isH.

Perhaps the dealer is confusing ABS, which your car does have, with SBC, which it does not.

ABS as pointed out, not SBC, your car will have A2114312012 fitted.

He defo said sbc because he then said you need 3 litres to flush. But thanks for the clarity. He had me worried.

 

[IFFY100]

And definitely wasn't abs as he knows it was a 2010 and is it not legal after a certain period for abs to be installed?

Ffs I had emailed mb about the system before speaking to you guys about it and thus is there reply

Hello Sir,

We have checked with the images and cross-referenced the data from your car and I can confirm your vehicle does have SBC.

Now what?

Why the need to find out if it does or doesn't?

Ask them for a price for a new SBC pump.

Trying to do brake fluid service

The epc at mb showed my e320 as having dual piston front calipers . The bosch system has only 1 piston. Mb can be wrong. The parts guys are not clued up . They just look at pretty pictures... you've been told several times those are not sbc brakes... by lads that do know.

If there is a brake vacuum servo at the master cylinder it is NOT SBC.

Go on, do it.

Has the Op said what car he has bought/buying the SBC system carried on on the SL I think to around 2011.

Sorry lads don't mean to doubt anyone, and would rather believe members over the aforementioned monkeys but I just want to be careful

Main problem was that the guy who assured me it's a sbc is actually a pretty sound guy and went above and beyond to find out. Obviously his info is wrong.

 

[pmcgsmurf]

Your car does have A2114312012 fitted according to the system.
