1999 e300 turbodisel brake sticking down.

[chris walker]

I have a 1999 e 300 and the brakes are fine but when the car warms up the brake pedal does not want to return and i have to use my left foot to pull it up. Has anyone else had this problem ? The car has never failed a test.

Take a look at this thread:
Brake pedal not fully returning
Sorry can't paste the link for some reason - use search at the top of the screen you need to select the 'more' option and type in the above.
Hope it helps....

I think that was my thread. It turned out in the end to be the plastic pin that the pedal pivots on had seized. It was about £2 for a new one off mercedes. I took the pedal assembly out, pretty much had to chisel the old one out, cleaned it up and greased it and fitted the new one, super smooth ever since.

It was Rob, and unlike some, you posted the outcome and solution!
Well done that man
