We have a E240 Estate 2004 with 46.000 km on it.
When braking (not hard braking, just for slowing when apraoching lights etc) i feel a slight pulsation. Not hard, but it's noticable and the longer the more it irrittes me. The feeling does not come from the pedal, but it feels like the braking force is slightly changing with the rotation of the wheels. One possibility I can think of is that one or more discs are not weared down evenly.
The car is currently at the stealer (second time already) for sorting this out, but for the second time they tell me they have tested the brakes and cannot see unusual readings from their test tools (whatever those might be).
I really want to sort this out. What could be the cause? What can I tell my stealer to look for?
Some history on the car:
- Last summer I started hearing a minor noise from the back of the car. It has been determined that it was a ball bearing (left rear wheel). It has been replaced and the noise was gone.
- About a month after that I got a punctured tire. Replaced both rear tires with same make and model of the originals.
- About a month after this (and a skying trip to the mountains in mid-winter) I started feeling this pulsations while breaking.
Any advice or ideas are welcome!
