Brake pad question

[IndiVES55]

Dear all,
I own a 2016 W205 C63S Coupe Edition 1 and need to replace front brake pads. The dealer’s part given was A0004206600. I have also been told that part no. A0004204400 is also interchangeable. Can someone out there please help resolve the confusion?
Much appreciate any replies.

So if intercahangeable that means you can use both part numbers if i am right ...do you have a vin number of youir car ? post it on here so i can do a check on a parts web site for you ,,,or go here and do it for yourself 7 ZAP.com

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have been told that the dealer provided part A0004206600 can be interchanged with A0004204400. My car details are:-
VIN - WDD2053872F435941
Engine no - 17798060017330

Gave it a spin but said vin number not recognised might you have a number wrong or letter

 

[IndiVES55]

I’ve checked it out too and discovered that the 6600 part is for red caliper cars whereas the 4400 is for silver caliper ones. I believe there’s a slight difference in the width as the red is for the S models.

 

[DREAMER NO2]

So is this vin number the right one ..

 

[DREAMER NO2]

Both web site searches i did on your vin number say that your vin number number dont exist

 

[IndiVES55]

Yes. The VIN is correct.

 

[mioba]

go to the dealer. Give them your vin and just buy them there. saves all the questions and you will have the latest ones for your car if superceded, assuming your car is stock.

The Vin # checks out on the official MB EPC

Regarding the brake pads, the Part#'s given ,and the info in your Post# 5 is correct.
Whether there is any difference in pad size I highly doubt, but getting the ones with the correct Part# obviously ensures there is no risk getting the wrong ones.

 

[IndiVES55]

Thank you for your advice and info obtained. You’re indeed an expert.

 

[DREAMER NO2]

AMGeed thats fantastic information for indiVE555 but no answer to his question on his brake pads delema ..Can you help with that

 

[IndiVES55]

I’ve just decided to proceed with dealer recommended parts. Brakes are something not to be messed with. A lot of suggestions for Porterfield, EBC or Brembo pads but best to stick with what was designed for the car?

 

[DREAMER NO2]

So right you are .

 

[IndiVES55]

Thank you all for your insights especially to AMGeed who is obviously a true aficionado.

 

[AMGeed]

For what its worth, I have just replaced the brake pads on my W212 E63. The ones I removed had both Brembo and Textar on the pads.




@ DREAMER No2........... I thought I intimated getting the pads with the correct Part# the dealer supplied would be the best way to go?

Brembo probably make them for MB, stay well away from EBC
