Auto manufacturers have made the diagnosis possible in two ways:

A small sensor is embedded into the brake pad material itself so when the pad becomes thin and comes into contact with the rotor in sensor to complete a circuit, this indicator light turns ON.A position sensor to measure the movement of pads, before the brakes are applied. This sensor determines how much the pads have to move upon application of brakes.

Mercedes said it had identified a fault with the brake boosters on certain models that were manufactured several years ago.

• The defect means that sudden braking in affected vehicles could lead to mechanical damage and, in rare cases, an increased risk of accident or injury, according to the BBC,
• As part of its commitment to safety, Mercedes-Benz has decided to contact the owners of potentially affected vehicles,” a spokesperson for the carmaker told Fortune in an email.

“We will start with the recall process immediately. This will involve inspecting potentially affected vehicles and, depending on the results of the inspection, replacing the parts where necessary. Until the inspection takes place, we ask our customers not to drive their vehicles.”

What happens if you don’t replace brake pads?

1. You can damage the brake rotors and calipers. – Your car’s brakes are a closely-connected system of moving parts, and when one component is damaged, the wear can trickle down into other elements. For example, when your brake pads wear down past a certain point, you can risk damaging the brake rotors.

• When you brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor to stop your car.
• However, when the pads are excessively worn, exposed metal on the pads grinds against the rotors every time you brake, producing a grinding noise and likely damaging the rotors.
• Additionally, the heat generated from the metal-on-metal grinding that happens when worn pads squeeze the rotor can also warp and crack the rotor.

Typically, brake rotors outlast the brake pads. However, not getting your brake pads replaced can damage these parts, requiring more frequent repairs. Getting your brake pads changed and your brake system inspected regularly can help you get the most life out of all its parts and avoid expensive and preventable brake repairs.

Do I need to replace all 4 brake pads?

Do You Need to Replace All Four Brake Pads at Once? – Most brake pads are sold in sets of four, but does that mean you have to replace all four pads at once? The first thing to consider is that your brakes and rotors come in pairs – the front and the rear.

1. You can replace your brake pads in pairs (the front or the rear) at the same time or separately.
2. If your front brake pads are in need of repair or replacement, your mechanic can fix this issue independently.
3. It’s also important to note that your front and rear brake pads wear at very different rates.
4. The front brake pads do most of the work, causing them to wear faster and need replacement more often.

When you step on the brakes, your car lurches forward, landing squarely on the front wheels. This is where most of your car’s braking power comes from. This action also increases the amount of friction between the front tires and the road while simultaneously taking pressure off the rear tires and brake pads.

Brake Safety

Brakes are one of the main safety items in your car and should be treated with respect.Here is how it goesWhen you apply your brake pedal, the brake pads press down on the brake discs located on your wheels and slow down or stop your car.

The friction action caused by applying the brakes results in minute shavings being shed from the brake pads. The more frequently or aggressively you apply the brakes, the sooner they will need to be replaced. It comes down your braking habits and whether you ride the brakes, stomp on the brakes or you are a gentle pedal pusher.

From 1976 brake wear warning indicators were standard on the front brakes in Mercedes Benz vehicles, so we will be talking about these vehicles. The brake warning light comes on when there is about 3mm left on the brake pad. As soon as you see your brake warning light on that does not mean that you have run out of brakes.

It is a warning to be aware before the brakes go metal to metal and destroy the discs which could have been perfectly ok. If your discs are still within the correct thickness or specification, you will avoid having to replace the brake discs also. The warning gives you plenty of notice of your brake wear.

• Conservatively speaking, if you are a really hard driver, you could expect up to 800 to 1000 kilometers more from your brake pads.
• If you are a gentle driver, up to 2000 kms quite easily, before they damage the brake discs.
• Theo’s question to a lot of our customers is.
• What kind of driving do you do? Is it city stop and start driving?If so then you will probably get a further 800 kms out of your brakes.

If you are driving down the Gold Coast from Brisbane every day, you will probably get up to 2000 plus kms more from your brake pads What will happen if you ignore the warning light and hope it goes away? The brake pads will wear out and grind metal to metal and then it is too late and you will have to replace both the brake pads and discs.

It is not critical, but please don’t ignore the brake warning light or message. We are very happy for anyone with a warning light or message (brake or otherwise) to pass by here at AustStar Motors. Theo or Andrew will have a look and tell you exactly what your safe distance would be. We will ask the question are you travelling up Mt Tamborine everyday or just doing local driving ? If you do 500 kms a week doing your local driving then you have approximately 3 weeks up your sleeve before it’s imperative that we replace the pads.

Some customers, for peace of mind, book their car in straight away, to have the brake pads replaced as that is okay also. Average cost for front brake pad replacement for most C Class sedans, is approximately $340. Rear brake pads are a little bit less.

SUVs, MLs, GLs, are approximately $70 more expensive. AMG cars are totally different. It os best to call us or email us with your Model, Year and Vin number and we will be happy to give you an estimate on the replacement. Normally, the wear ratio for brake pads and brake discs, is 2 sets of pads to 1 set of discs.

This again depends on the way the vehicle is driven. In our experience, most A, B and C Class models will need brake discs replaced at approximately 40000 kms. Mercedes Benz vehicles have superior safety systems such as distronic which senses the car in front of you and automatically slows your car to avoid a collision.

1. You might be distracted and the car senses that you are not reducing your speed to that of the speed of the car in front of you with better reaction time that is humanly possible.
2. It is a great feature but compromises the brakes because it brakes for you.
3. As a side note, you can set the distronic, for one car space or say 3 car spaces if you would like to have it slow the car with more space between.

It is set similar to how cruise control is set. If you would like more information, have a chat with Theo. By all means, please do not hesitate to call us and speak to Theo or Andrew if you have any questions in relation to your brakes. We are always here to help.
