Get the correct ones TRW from auto docJust picking this up again.
Merc parts on eBay seem like an option, although they are around £540 for the pair. I've then seen ATE at Euro Car Parts (£264) or Delphi at GSF (£190) and also Mintex on eBay at £142.
When I had my rears changed I used ATE from ECP and I'm tempted back towards them, however they don't appear to sell pads.
Does anyone have experience of Delphi and/or Mintex??
If you've got the small second battery in the boot it means it needs changing. If you don't have the second battery then just ignore everything I've just said!It’s going to be the capacitor unit in the end of the passenger footwell. Not the end of the world.
Mercedes don't make pads or discs or even callipers. They use the manufacturer TRW Yiu can get them from the auto doc appt
As I said previously, I have just received my pads from a MB dealer and they are Ferodo, no brand name on discs though.Best place is auto doc. They take a few days to come. Mercedes use TRW discs pads and callipers
Well that will teach me not to assume. So the rear pads I received from MB were Ferodo but when I went to fit the front ones they were Brembo!Genuine Ferodo Eco Friction
Mercedes will always have multiple OEM suppliers for any parts - you’ll see cars coming from the factory with different branded tyres. They will be made by different parts suppliers to the same specification set by Mercedes. Pads made by Brembo and Ferodo for Mercedes will probably have more in common than pads made by Ferodo for Mercedes and Aftermarket.Well that will teach me not to assume. So the rear pads I received from MB were Ferodo but when I went to fit the front ones they were Brembo!
It seems that MB are sourcing their pads from all over these days. I know Brembo are pretty good pads but I do find them bloody dusty though.
