Mercedes-Benz Brakes & Suspensions

Q: What brakes do Mercedes use?

Disc brakes have become the standard in a large portion of the automotive market; nowadays, it is a matter of choosing with which material to build them. Mercedes Benz brakes are metallic in urban cars because they deliver appropriate performance despite being cost-efficient in terms of both production and maintenance. Carbon ceramic brakes are restricted to performance models because they are designed for more severe driving conditions.

Q: How often do Mercedes brakes need to be replaced?

That answer will always be heavily dependent on your driving habits, but it is possible to estimate a range of 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Then again, you should always prioritize your own inspection for warning signs: if you feel too much noise or vibration when braking, the car pulls to one side at that moment, and/or there is a burning odor, you must have your brake system replaced soon.

Q: How do you bleed brakes on a Mercedes?

A common method is by pressure, where you attach a reservoir of brake fluid with positive pressure to the end of the system to force fluid inside. However, it is also interesting to have a second person press the brake pedal regularly to make sure there is no air trapped inside. A useful tip is to choose a bleeder fluid of a different color than that of the actual brake fluid to make it easier to identify when it was completely drained from the system.

Q: How long do Mercedes carbon ceramic brakes last?

The average range for metallic brakes is of 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Carbon ceramic brakes are generally more resistant, so you can expect a higher range from them in comparable use conditions. Then again, any range of those is highly dependent on how you drive. Variables such as surface type, city or highway, and driving style may increase or decrease that range according to how severely the brake system is used.

Even though Mercedes Benz has a wide range of automobiles, each one with a different purpose, they all have a common characteristic: they need high-quality brake systems. Performance cars are designed to deal with high speeds while business vans usually ride with heavy cargo and urban cars need low-cost maintenance. Those conditions clearly represent high work demands from the brake system. Fortunately, Mercteil is ready to help by providing you a wide range of genuine components for Mercedes Benz brakes.

Braking systems must not only bring the car to a halt at the shortest possible distance, but also help it lose speed in a controlled way. They must not interfere in the car's steering and must dissipate heat as quickly as possible in order not to fade. When that happens, the pedal loses effectiveness and the driver ends up with virtually no control over the car's brakes, which can easily become dangerous.

High-performance cars are usually the most severe case because they are designed to be driven at high speeds: their work demand from the brakes is extremely high and has minimal tolerance. This is why many of them use carbon ceramic brake pads: this equipment has been widely tested around the world and has always shown excellent performance especially when it comes to dissipating heat, which increases its effectiveness as a whole.
