sbc

Hello All, Apologies about posting this type of query again. I have read through several posts regarding the SBC module - and getting it refurbed etc, but wanted confirmation first before I proceed down that road. The car is a 2003 E240 with 89k on the clock (see picture). Got the message...

Hi all, Some of you may recall that I had a 2nd SBC pump failure last year (having had the original pump changed FoC by MB West London only 6 months earlier) - for those of you who haven't read the thread, please click on the following link...

I took my car to the stealer after getting the "service brake...visit workshop" fault. I thought it might be the SBC since the car is almost 10 years old and I was hoping, if it is a pump fault, to get replaced for free since the car is still within the ten year warranty period. well........I...

hi all, I have the dreaded message! I have had the front discs and pads done ( needed changing anyway) rears are fine, fluid also fine. Think it might be the SBC unit as it no longer primes when I open the door only when I touch the brake pedal. Read some threads on brake switch behind...
