any possibilty of discussing direct injection and how to perform service on the w205?

@stevenmcc6052 2 жыл бұрын

Do these discs float, as the hub area is pressed steel forming splines. The rotor proper is cast iron with splines. If true, its so the disk can self align for no vibration

I just entered the Mercedes Family with a 2019 C300 Base model. I enjoy doing minor maintenance on all my cars and videos like this makes it possible. Once parts come in, I will be doing a front-end brake job (experiencing pulsating) also Oil changes, Cabin air Filter and engine air filter. The videos available for engine air filter show filter on the passenger side, mine is on the driver's side. Do you know of any video available that shows the proper way to do this. I came across one, but not as detailed your videos. This video show when part is off already that doesn't help. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

So can I put akenbono ceramics pads on and change my rotors to slotted and drilled ?

@AnticipatedHedgehog 3 жыл бұрын

Job well done! Clever idea to add wear indicators on the rotors, will sell more rotors for sure but still helpful. Are the indicators set to show the minimum thickness when worn away?

@JeeperZJ 2 жыл бұрын

Yes but they actually are completely flush when they're below the minimum spec. The OEM rotors have the minimum measurement spec printed on the hat of every rotor (this applies across all models and goes back for generations) if you want to measure them out. Another indicator is when you end up with a 1-2mm lip forming on the edge of the rotors. I always recommend you replace the rotors when the pads require replacement as the rotors are usually either already below minimum spec or within .6mm of the spec.

I have the cross drilled rotors, do the drilled ones have the wear indicator too?

@JeeperZJ 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, mercedes puts these marks on all their rotors except for the carbon ceramics. Some of the "2 piece" amg rotors may not include this indicator as well.

No anti squeal paste on the rear of pads or is there a double sided sticker?

@Kashif.Mehmood Жыл бұрын

What was the use of those 4 bolts shown at 01:18 along with the brake pads? I did not see the guy installing them anywhere.

@yourfutureassurance 2 ай бұрын

They replace the old bolts that hold the caliper on to the bracket. The new bolts should have anti-seize coating on the threads.

Was this Mercedes a C300 sport?

@jessebloyed Жыл бұрын

So if you replace one caliper. Should you replace the other one with oem match? Or is that a preference? Great video. Be doing this job tomorrow. Guess we will see if it's sport version or not. 😊 Sports version is like brembo and wilwood. Love the pins and pads out the back. Hot swapable!

@SnAkEeYeSjr 8 ай бұрын

If you do 1 brake pad you should do all 4 vice versa with the rotors

@yourfutureassurance 2 ай бұрын

If you have an older model and high mileage, replace both calipers at the same time. Heat and vibration effects everything in equal time.

Can I use the 342mm instead 330mm with original caliper?

@JeeperZJ 2 жыл бұрын

No, you would require a modified caliper bracket so it clears the rotor.

Same - I'm assuming you've finished yours though - what were the differences? looks like the pads just come out the top like some other stuff I've serviced - anything "weird" to look out for?
